No. I support the Nordic model. Go after the demand and the pimps of course.

This model is a failure because it causes secrecy. It was imposed on sex workers. By comparison, New Zealand's 2003 decriminalisation is a great success because it was led by sex workers. See my other comment.

It's a success because it reduces demand. Reducing demand matters, because most of the women and girls who are 'supplied' are coerced in one way or another--financially, emotionally, physically. They are taken from the most vulnerable, poor populations. The stories they tell are horrific. It is, in general, an industry of abuse, even if there are some exceptions.
