Overwhelmingly, workers across the globe have called for full decriminalization. Decriminalization does not mean endorsing exploitation; it means creating safer conditions, increasing access to services, and allowing workers to report abuse without arrest. www.swopbehindbars.org/post/receipt...

What Needs to Change- It is time to reject “end demand” laws as a failed policy experiment and to stop exporting the Nordic Model as if it were a success story. If we truly want to reduce harm and exploitation, we must confront the structural causes of vulnerability.

These policies disproportionately target migrant workers, women of color, and LGBTQ+ communities, reinforcing the very inequalities they claim to fight. At the same time, the real drivers of vulnerability—poverty, criminal records, housing discrimination—go completely unaddressed.

Although supporters of the Nordic Model insist workers will not be criminalized, the reality is different. Police raids and surveillance campaigns often lead to the arrest of sex workers through charges such as immigration violations, “brothel-keeping” laws, or public order offenses.

It’s an easy soundbite for those who want to believe there’s a quick fix to exploitation. Framing clients as villains gives the appearance of moral clarity, while sidestepping the harder work of addressing poverty or housing insecurity. the “end demand” approach looks bold, but it delivers nothing.

Why This Myth Persists: The reason the “end demand” narrative has gained traction is that it allows policymakers to appear tough on sex work while claiming not to punish sex workers directly. By shifting the focus to clients, politicians can frame the problem as one of individual bad actors.

Myth: Ending Demand Will End Sex Work “End demand” laws—often marketed under the more palatable name of the Nordic Model—are frequently touted as a one-size-fits-all solution to sex work and trafficking. Instead, these laws have made the work more dangerous.

Oh would that INCONVENIENCE him? Might that cause him some ANXIETY, going forward? Another man who thought HE could just disregard other people’s boundaries, but nothing bad would ever be permitted to happen to HIM

This still makes me laugh The shade of it all They really went with that thumbnail 😂

Nordic model be like: "let's get rid of sex workers' source of income to save them!" & is the most deranged train of thought ever ???

Nordic Model be like: You know how we can protect sex workers? By getting them evicted. Homelessness makes everyone safer.

I cannot overstate how deeply sinister the Nordic Model is, and how horribly it affects the lives of all women - not just sex workers. It forces *everyone* to constantly evaluate *every* woman for signs she may be engaged in sex work, and to deny her business if they suspect she might be.

The most intelligent among us have been saying: The "Nordic Model" is just an excuse to legally restrict women's rights and ability to move freely in public in the name of "ending prostitution", but dressed up in liberal-friendly language about "protecting women" and "punishing pimps, not SWs"

Do y'all know the story about Harry's bar in Sweden and how they used the logic of the #NordicModel to legally get away with racial discrimination under the guise of ending demand? I figure this might be a good time to tell the story, considering the current political climate.

I simply cannot wait to see how evangelicals explain why having grindr host an event at the white house correspondents dinner is actually very godly and very pro traditional American values 🫢 www.uniladtech.com/news/grindr-...

Media needs to stop with "critics say" and just quote the actual language of the bill. HB 249 creates a new category of "seminudity" which can be used to arrest women who aren't nude, but are wearing clothing — leggings, t-shirts without bras — that religious groups feel is too provocative.
