Sex workers in the Netherlands can now take out additional coverage with Nationale-Nederlanded (NN), provided they are registered with the Chamber of Commerce. This primarily concerns coverage for fires and liability insurance. The decision makes NN the first regular insurance firm to offer services to sex workers. The Netherlands has approximately 20,000 sex workers, according to NN. Previously, their only option for insurance was with De Vereende, which provides policies with high premiums as a sort of "safety net" to people who have nowhere else to go.
