Adopt Nordic WA is a non-profit movement that exists to:
Advocate
for the adoption of the Nordic Approach in Western Australia.
EDUCATE
people and decision-makers on the harms of prostitution, highlighting the strong link between the availability of prostitution and the incidences of human trafficking.
ASSIST
in gathering together like-minded people and organisations already doing great work locally and abroad in supporting individuals who are victims of prostitution and of human trafficking.
Our Vision
We live in a world in which:
An estimated 35.8 million people are forced to live in slavery.
Human beings are bought and sold like commodities and it is often the most vulnerable who are victimised.
Millions of victims of prostitution and human trafficking live in the pain of physical and emotional abuse and isolation. Creating a legalised prostitution industry has not helped reduce these harms; in fact it has done the opposite.
We believe in a world in which:
Each human being knows their inherent dignity and value.
No person is bought or sold; men and women’s bodies are not traded as commodities.
The dominant culture is changed and men no longer accept that purchasing women for sex is okay.
Victims of prostitution are supported; not criminalised nor stigmatised.
People are hopeful enough to believe that the evils of human sex trafficking and modern day slavery can be defeated.
