![]() ![]() The police had focused on reducing street prostitution also as a signal to the public, as that form of prostitution was the most visible. ![]() The report stated that street prostitution had been reduced by half it reported that in Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm, street prostitution was at similar levels in 1999, but it was three times higher in Copenhagen and Oslo than in Stockholm in 2008. Its purpose was to evaluate how the law had affected the sex industry since its implementation in 1999 until 2008. In 2008, the Swedish government appointed a special committee of inquiry known as the Committee of Inquiry to Evaluate the Ban against the Purchase of Sexual Services headed by the former Supreme Court Justice Anna Skarhed. They confirm however, that prohibitions, like the one of the nordic model, and stigmatization are the biggest problems for sex workers, which do cause real harm. These organisations and most sex workers do not confirm that view. Īccording to most organisations for the rights of sex workers, the nordic model has been created under the false pretence that all sex work is abuse. As of 2019, 3 of the 27 member states have adopted the model in full or in part. In 2014, the European Parliament passed a non-binding resolution in favour of the Nordic model, urging member states to criminalize the purchase of prostitution and offering support for trafficking victims to exit the sex trade. The model came into effect in Norway in 2009 as part of Sexkjøpsloven (Sex Buyer Law). The model was first instituted in Sweden in 1999 as part of the Kvinnofrid law (Violence Against Women Act). The main objective of the model is to decrease the demand for prostitution by punishing the purchase of sexual services in order to decrease the volume of the illegal sex industry overall. Under the Nordic model, sex buyers are criminalized while prostitutes are decriminalized typically, prostitutes can sell their own services but auxiliary procuration services, such as pimping, brothel-keeping, and third-party advertising remain illegal. It has been adopted in three of the five Nordic countries, but has no connection to the Nordic model, which is a socioeconomic model. The Nordic model approach to prostitution, also known as the end demand, equality model, neo-abolitionism, partial decriminalization, and Swedish model, is an approach to prostitution law.
