Just because it's Nordic, doesn't mean it's positive. The majority of people in Denmark and Norway especially believe that prostitution should be legitimised, that they should have a right to health care and unification. That the profession should be fully recognised and that the current laws are not properly protecting the people it was apparently set out to do.
So if you want the debate to evolve into that in 10-15 years, then sure, the current law is great. But the current law doesn't work, as proven by the countries who already have a version of it. |
This ignores human trafficking increases and only focuses on local prostitutes.
There are definitely issues with the Nordic model. The living off the avails chunk of it needs to be permitted somehow to still criminalize pimping but allow protection.
If you look at where Sweden is still failing its when prostitutes are still Criminalized. Things like anti bawdy house laws.
