Here is a blog by a Swedish sex worker, who generally writes in Swedish (naturally) but has explained in English what the "Swedish Model" actually means for the sex workers themselves:

She calls this post, "Lies about sex work in Sweden".

To summarise her post in her own words:

the law against purchasing sexual services have increased the risks and the violence against sexworkers and the law against procurement make it impossible for us to work safely.


I urge you all to read the full thing if you have any concern at all about women, but especially if you have ever made any comment in a public or semi-public sphere about sex work.

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
