Support and rehabilitation of women in prostitution within the framework of the equality model: best practices and lessons learned in Sweden, France and Ireland.

What is the Equality Model and what are its effects? Does its impact vary depending on the national context?

Quite often, when talking about the Equality Model (also known as 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 prostitution.

During the webinar, the experts from Sweden, France and Ireland will share their experiences of practical work with exploited women and girls within the existing legal framework and discuss how the legal framework of the Equality Model sets out an essential foundation for strengthening the survivors by putting the responsibility for the crime where it belongs – on the buyer.
