Nordic Criminal model lobbyists post unfounded & inflammatory things about sex work then cry bullying when sex workers justifiably respond en masse to refute misinfo. They then use this to maintain their farce claiming they're too intimidated to speak..while they keep speaking

@NYDailyNews These are NOT SW rights groups and they're not pushing decrim. They're pushing the #NordicCriminalModel that sees sex workers unable to access their rights and safety. It makes violence against sex workers increase and makes trafficking harder to fight.

No one should be pushed into sex work by poverty. But that’s the reality for many women in a cost of living crisis. Criminalisation makes the industry more dangerous and harder to leave. The solution is to fully decriminalise it + tackle the root causes. Me on @Channel4News 👇🏽

The #NordicCriminalModel was developed from a Swedish Parliamentary Committee that stated in their report (1997): "No prostitution can be of voluntary nature and all sex workers are victims" This model was never designed with sex workers health and well-being in mind.

The Nordic Model, despite numerous rebrands, still causes significant harm to sex workers. Sex workers cannot work together for safety, and still bear the brunt of criminalisation. “We’ve created an environment which is absolutely perfect for abusing sex workers.”

What is the Nordic Model? The Nordic Model, that was pioneered in Sweden, is the full decriminalisation of those who are prostituted. It provides exiting support, including housing, legal advice, rehabilitation, and more to help those wanting to leave sex work to do so. But,

@SidacC So as a society we just accept women selling themselves for sex because there is a cost of living crisis? I think that's wrong. As a society we should be doing everything to get women out of sex work and definitely not decriminalising men who take advantage of their situation.

The facts don't lie! The Nordic Criminal model does not protect sex workers. Ireland have seen a 200% increase in sex worker experiencing threatening behaviour & 677% increase in sex workers experiencing abusive calls #SexWorkersNeedRights #SAparli #DecrimSA

@seanamulcahy This isn't the first SWERF session included in a SAlt Marxism Conference. Sex workers protested a similar session last year & have asked organisers about how sex workers were involved this year but no response. Extremely disappointing to see SAlt unsupportive of workers' rights

Stigma & discrimination mean sex workers face barriers in accessing housing support, healthcare & other essential service. SA needs to decriminalise sex work! #SexWorkIsWork #DecrimSA #SAparli #SexWorkersNeedRights
