98% of the victims of sex trafficking are women and children. At its root, sex trafficking is the result of male demand for prostitution.
Pimps and traffickers have generated a $100 billion per year sex trafficking industry, by aquiring the supply to meet that demand-by any means necessary.
In countries that have legalized prostitution, these dynamics are even more deadly. These countries see an explosion in demand, which directly leads to an increase in sex trafficking. The larger the sex trade grows, the more sex trafficking flourishes.
If sex trafficking is fueled by men’s demand for prostitution, then there is ultimately only one way to abolish it. We must eliminate the demand.
In 1999, after 30 years of research and listening to the experiences of hundreds of women in prostitution, Sweden introduced a new law to do this very thing, known as the Abolition Model.
The Abolition Model (also known as the Equality Model or Nordic Model) addresses the demand for prostitution head on by criminalizing the act of buying sex, and holding accountable the pimps, brothel owners, and traffickers who profit from selling people for sex.
It also creates a shift in how women in prostitution are treated. Rather than criminalize the women who are being exploited in prostitution, the Abolition Model offers them assistance and social support services to help them build a sustainable life outside of prostitution.
Since its adoption in Sweden, this law has had a dramatic impact on reducing both prostitution and sex trafficking. Street prostitution has been cut in half. The number of men buying sex has been cut in half.
Sweden now has the lowest number of sex trafficking victims in the entire European Union. Due to this incredible success, more and more countries around the world are adopting the Abolition Model, such as Northern Ireland, France, Norway, Canada, Iceland, and Israel.
