TARGETING USERS PROVES SUCCESSFUL

Stephen Rogers says Sweden’s approach has lowered rates of prostitution.

AS far as the authorities in Sweden are concerned, all prostitution constitutes human trafficking and, by extension, all prostitutes are victims of human trafficking.

It is with that as its basis that the government there has decriminalised the women offering sex for sale and criminalised the users of their services and focused a large amount of money and resources on tracking down the women’s pimps.
