That's horrifying. I regret not speaking up, but recently saw a discussion on a forum I frequent where some people were slamming the Nordic model because it made life harder for the---I wanna say, like, eight max?---sex workers who chose sex work as a career because it's super-empowering and totally not rape. Others did acknowledge that decriminalizing prostitution increases sex trafficking, but in the context of presenting decriminalization and the Nordic model as a difference in priorities. As if the bureaucratic troubles of a very, very small minority were comparable, in any way, to what the hundreds of thousands of trafficked women and girls experience.

I hope personal and professional accounts like this one get them to stop thinking about consequences in the abstract.
