Dutch sex workers are trapped between laws meant to protect them and a stigma that works against them leaving them vulnerable instead of safe. This episode exposes two cases where that tension plays out: unpaid work, illegal house rules, and a system that fails the people it should defend.

BOOS is the online investigative platform of Dutch broadcaster BNNVARA, dedicated to exposing injustice in all its forms. From unmasking scammers and confronting CEOs to holding politicians accountable. BOOS digs where others don't, always with the facts front and center.

Working on this episode of BOOS was one of the most enjoyable and educational collaborations I have had as an IC. Adult performers bring a remarkable depth of experience in communicating their own boundaries with each other and with a production team. Facilitating those conversations was a genuine privilege.
