Nordic model and why it is bad for sex workers - SFAdmin - 06-07-2024
The Nordic model approach to prostitution was introduced in 1999 in Sweden, and since then, more countries have adopted it. It criminalizes the customers who want to buy sexual services. We have published an article about the top 10 reasons why this is bad for sex workers.

What are your thoughts on this model?

There is an interesting data piece in the article: Sweden has one of the highest rates of rape cases per 100,000 people in the world. Only a few very shady African countries have worse rates. If we compare Sweden to Austria, there are 6-7 times more rapes per 100,000 people in Sweden than in Austria. This must be clear evidence that something is not right in that country.
Austria has a very good sex scene, and of course, we can witness a lot of problems here too. But if we check the girls' side, they have a good chance to work legally and there are also a lot of better places. If they are not too attractive anymore, there are still smaller brothels for work, so they don't need to work on the streets or illegally with a pimp.
Has anyone ever asked these girls what they want? A ban would totally ruin their lives. They would be without a job, and it is very hard to find a regular job in the current economic crisis.
