Sweden’s Minister of Justice writes about why her country penalizes prostitute clients rather than prostitutes themselves.

Sure their system seems better than the USA system where everyone is penalized, but I do not see how they reduce male demand? I have been seeing sex workers for almost 2 decades and could not imaging life without them.

Most men I know have a lifestyle around sex workers and no matter how much pressure was applied against this activity would never be able to stop.

Sweden is an unusual country by most measures, it is hard to compare this part of the world with anywhere else. But if they insist that their policy works I am all for it. At least if it was applied in the USA we could help women work in a better environment, and work primarily indoors.
