History of Feminism

... Sweden ... outlawed the purchase of sex in 1999.

“Since then, attitudes have changed and now only 0.29 per cent of men in Sweden buy sex,” she wrote in an article for the Scotsman, adding elsewhere that some 10 per cent of UK men admit to paying for sex.

The Swedish law is now known as the "Nordic Model", and organisations including Tara (Trafficking Awareness Raising Alliance), the Encompass Network, Routes Out, and Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland have previously urged the Scottish Government to take a similar path.
