My apologize for bumping this thread but it is MINE !! lol

Seriously, I have been invited to a meeting where will be discussed again, about the new law on prostitution legislation.
Basically I will focus myself in a few things:
-2 girls sharing accommodation
-criminalizing the client will drive this industry underground
-sex between 2 adults who consent an sexual act is not state s business

First we do not want to be put in the position to say we are trafficked to avoid "brothel keeper" record when in fact we are not forced into prostitution . Safety it is important as a human being first of all and by the law at the moment we do not have it.

Good clients will look for sex somewhere else, bad ones will remain active as they do not care about the law and we will be in danger by having to see them in order to make some money.
In case the client will be criminalize , once the police it is in an apartment, he will be the goal of their operation and not the lady and she could be forced into prostitution. I am sure the police will not bother to check her out, as it is not their mission.
(I wonder how in Sweden are soo many human trafficking when the escort it is not the target, it is the client, it is beyond me)

Rape it is sex without consent.
Escorts give their consent to have sex with customers, therefore it is not rape.
Consensual sexual act between 2 adults is not state s business and in fact is nobody s business.

"Human trafficking court cases and convictions" , as Mr ... forgot his name claimed at the conference...

As long as I know you will be there I can relax, stay home, put up my feet and read my library book...everything will be taken care of properly.

Yes keep it tight, cut out the bull and just focus on the essential elements of your arguments.
The so called 'swedish model' is very dishonest. Dreamed up by feminists to hurt women who don't fall into line with the sisterhood. Thees type of people are very judgmental towards women who don't follow their ideals, including women who just work in the home.

Saw a number of letters to the papers recently praising the swedish model, perhaps some brave people here could write giving the other side of the story?

According to the US state department Sweden is still a Tier 1 country for trafficking. So much for the success of the Swedish model. Link -> 2011 Trafficking in Persons Report - Sweden

2011 Trafficking in Persons Report - Sweden

Sweden (Tier 1)

Sweden is a destination, source, and, to a lesser extent, a transit country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Women, men, and children are also subjected to forced labor and forced criminal behavior, including begging and stealing. Swedish police have estimated that 400 to 600 persons are subjected to human trafficking, primarily in sex trafficking, in Sweden annually. Foreign victims of sex trafficking originate from Romania, Russia, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Albania, Estonia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Thailand, China, Uzbekistan, and Mongolia; in 2010, one third of identified victims were children. Among Swedish nationals, some mentally or physically handicapped individuals reportedly were exploited in sexual servitude. According to a government report, 12 percent of Swedish girls and four percent of Swedish boys placed in state-run youth care homes sold sex for drugs or money. Although sex trafficking has been the dominant type of human trafficking in Sweden, forced labor and forced criminal behavior also increased this year.....

There have been letters written and other overtures made to the media to put the opposing view, unfortunately the agenda of the press is to be popularist and they have no interest in resolving this issue, just keep trotting out the same lurid and salacious
tripe to titillate their readers.
