Nurses: 'Sex is not part of healthcare'

A Dutch nurses union has launched a national campaign to underline that sexual services are not part of standard healthcare.

The protest has been launched after a 42-year-old disabled man tried to dismiss his 24-year-old nurse after she refused to sexually gratify him on request, Reuters reports.

The NU'91 union said that the woman witnessed other nurses offering the man such services and the case has been reported to the police

A statement from NU'91 read: "This type of action is not part of the job responsibilities of carers and nurses".

The 'I Draw The Line Here' campaign poster features a woman covering her face with crossed hands.
