The Nordic model or Nordic Model is called Sexköpslagen in Swedish which translates as Sex Buyer Law or Sex Purchase Act. Sexköpslagen was part of a bigger set of measures called Kvinnofrid, which means women's peace/integrity/freedom.
Sometimes it is called the Swedish Model or the Abolitionist Model. There are some people who call it the Equality Model, but they are mostly CATW (Coalition Against Trafficking in Women), CATWA (Australian branch of CATW) and SPACE International (Survivors of Prostitution-Abuse Calling for Enlightenment).
The studies above are for Sweden, the ones below are for England and Wales.
| APPG stands for All-Party Parliamentary Group on Prostitution and the Global Sex Trade. This group has more than its fair share of Evangelical Christians such as Fiona Bruce MP, member of the Evangelical Alliance Council and anti-abortion. All the members of this group support the Nordic model. UK Feminista serves as the group’s Secretariat. UK Feminista is an NGO founded by Radical Feminist Kat Banyard. HAC stands for the Home Affairs Committee (or Home Affairs Select Committee). CPHRC stands for the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission (Fiona Bruce MP pops up here as well). | ||
