"#Sexwork in #Sweden operates under the #NordicModel, also known as the “Equality,” “Entrapment,” or “End Demand Model,” which #criminalizes #buyingsex but not selling sex. The text of the newly-passed bill states that criminal liability for the purchase of #sexualservices shouldn’t have to require physical contact between the buyer and seller anymore, and should expand to online sex work, too.

Sweden’s law isn’t isolated to European countries. In the U.S., #Maine adopted the Nordic Model in 2023."

“Since leaving prostitution I have struggled with chronic depression, flashbacks, anorexia and self-harm. I have not been off psychiatric medication or out of therapy. I have never been able to enjoy sex or be in a loving relationship. The ‘sex-industry’ has robbed me of all these things.”
