OccupationSex worker

Eunice Osayande was a Nigerian sex worker in Belgium, where she was murdered in June 2018. The city of Brussels is set to name a new street after her to promote a campaign that recognizes women in Belgium.[1] The new street named after Osayande connects the Quai des Peniches and Quai de Willebroeck. This would be the first time a street is named after a sex worker.[2] This is in recognition of sexual violence, female victims, and femicide.[3][4] Osayande came to Europe in 2016, hoping for a brighter future in the film industry.[1]
