Welcome to the webinar: Supporting women in prostitution within the framework of the Nordic model: Breaking myths and examples of practical work in Sweden.
Quite often when talking about the Nordic Model the main focus of the discussion is put on the criminalisation of the buyer/perpetrator. Help and support provided to exploited women is less discussed, and there are multiple myths about the legislation’s impact on women in the prostitution and pornography industry.
Welcome to a webinar where Unizon’s member organisations will share their experiences of practical work with exploited women and girls within the existing legal framework and discuss how the Swedish sex purchase act sets out an essential foundation for strengthening the survivors by putting the responsibility for the crime where it belongs – on the buyer. They will also talk about how all these experiences and knowledges can be used for the work with violence prevention.
Organised by: Unizon
When: June 2 at 16.00-17.30 CET/UTC+02
