THE NORDIC APPROACH

The Nordic Approach to prostitution law reform powerfully promotes human dignity by preventing the serious harm associated with the commodification of people (especially women and girls) for sex. The Approach criminalises the purchase (and attempted purchase) of sex, targeting law enforcement measures at pimps, managers and buyers. Importantly, the Approach does not punish prostituted persons. Instead, there is significant investment in support services to assist women exiting prostitution and for preventing others from entering it in the first instance.
