Law enforcement, intellectuals, politicians, and activists all over the United States—last month, even President Obama—are discussing legal approaches toward the related scourges of human trafficking and prostitution.
Recognizing that prostitution is a form of sex inequality related to gender-based violence, the Swedish approach criminalizes the purchaser, while decriminalizing the prostituted person, and has dramatically reduced prostitution and human trafficking since 1999. The law has also been adopted in Norway and Iceland. Particularly with the amendment Sweden made in 2011 that enables prostituted persons to claim damages directly from purchasers for violating their equality and dignity, it would fit well as a civil rights law in America. Nonetheless, some critics keep citing inaccurate and biased data, saying the law would not work in the U.S.

Meet the academic who thinks prostitution should be legalised because men need more sex. “Trying to stop prostitution through criminalising it is a complete waste of public money.
It is bound to fail. " Dr Catherine Hakim “Women have equality in the workplace, but they do not have they equality in private relationships,” says Dr Hakim, whose previous book, The New Rules, compared married men to “caged animals”. “It’s a shocking difference: men are twice as interested in sex as women and it is the same around the world. Surveys show we see the male sex deficit in Sweden, France, Spain, Japan and South America. “It is hard-wired into us: men, on average, are more highly sexed than women. “It’s across all age groups, but as soon as you hit 30, the gap starts growing dramatically. Academics complain research into sex workers in London unreliable. Top academics involved in sex research have launched an attack on "seriously flawed" research into British brothels.
The academics claim that research into prostitution in the UK published last month by the Poppy Project, which is partly funded by the Ministry of Justice, is inaccurate and unethical. The research in the Big Brothel report "exhibits serious flaws in its mode of data collection and analysis," they warn. The group of 27 key figures in sex work research from prestigious universities across the UK and overseas claim the report was conducted with neither ethical approval nor acknowledgement of evidence and co-authored by a journalist known for producing anti-prostitution findings.
The Poppy Project has received £5.8m in government funding and the women and equality minister, Harriet Harman, has publicly endorsed the organisation. The report's findings lend weight to Home Office moves to make it against the law to pay for sex. She called the report a "shocker".

In her essay “Inventing Sex Work” (which appears in the anthology Whores and Other Feminists edited by Jill Nagle), Carol Leigh aka Scarlot Harlot wrote that, in 1979 or 1980, she attended a conference in San Francisco by Women Against Violence in Pornography and Media.
She had intended to be “a sort of ambassador to this group, educating feminists about prostitution.” However, she discovered that the workshop on prostitution included the phrase “Sex Use Industry.” “The words stuck out and embarrassed me.” She wrote. “How could I sit amid other women as a political equal when I was being objectified like that, described only as something used, obscuring my role as actor and agent in the transaction?” Leigh suggested that the title be changed to “Sex Work Industry” as that prioritised the work of the provider rather than the customer. “The usage of the term “sex work” marks the beginning of a movement.” Trade Unions and Prostitution – The Feministahood.
In 1977 a Swedish project was launched to discover the everyday reality of prostituted women’s lives.
Researchers interviewed hundreds of women, johns and pimps. What they found exploded the old Victorian myths that prostitution resulted from a biological urge in men and a mental defect in the women. Instead they found it was something that men do to women with tragic consequences. Around the same time feminists, such as Kathleen Barry and Andrea Dworkin, in the United States and elsewhere were making a powerful analysis of pornography and prostitution as key elements in the systematic subordination of women.
As a result the sex industry had a serious image problem on its hands. Richard Poulin, faux expert et vrai putophobe. Texte publié initialement sur le site Recherche Travail Sexuel.
