Amnesty International Policy

Recommended Posts

In the past week Amnesty International released their policy and position on the the sex trade and sex workers. Their position is focused on sex workers health, HIV, and safety of the workers.

 

They are not proposing legalization, nor the Nordic model, but rather decriminalization.

 

It is an interesting read of their view after they researched the original country of Norway that criminalized clients. As we are well aware, Canada and many other countries have adopted this model and the affect of the model may be seem in Amnesty's Norway Report .

 

Here is their full report.Amnesty International Report and Policy .

 

Pay attention Mr Trudeau.

There is a lot of info about how Norway has been policing sex work under the Nordic Model

 

Recently the head of the Prostitution Unit in Sweden wrote a book about how they were 'policing' sex work in Sweden. It is in Swedish, but this has some translated highlights of what he has shown they've been doing. (and he is as proud of it as the anti sex work people are of the c36 nordic model )

One wonders what the pro c36 folks expect the police to do in order to investigate clients in order to charge them.....

Thanks Fortunateone for your post with the translation from the Swedish police investigator. As you said, it would appear that the real reason for his "enforcement" methods is that it gets him off, and not to help "society".

 

So hypocritical, it makes me cringe.

 

Do you think the Amnesty position is a step forward in the sex for sale debate?
