> SWAN's office is temporarily closed during the FIFA World Cup due to a heavy police presence and surveillance in the downtown core, and the increased risk of arrest, detention and deportation of im/migrant sex workers.
🇨🇦👠📰 https://swanvancouver.ca/office-closed/
Sigh. When the “““safety””” measures to “““combat trafficking””” and “““protect women””” lead to organizations ACTUALLY providing safe and effective support to precarious, marginalized (and even up to actually trafficked) women HAVING TO CLOSE… 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Clearly something ain't working right.
Sure isn't for the lack of warnings however. “Maybe” it's actually working just as intended after all… 😮💨Does anyone seriously believe half a word of the official pitches, anyway..? They keep getting more and more shameful by the day.
#DecrimNow, dangit!

Denmark has been crowned one of the world’s happiest countries for decades and it is not about money or endless positivity. Experts point to something far more basic and powerful starting early in life. Children are taught empathy, trust, cooperation and how to handle conflict. Social safety nets are strong, inequality is lower and community actually means something. Happiness here is treated as a collective outcome, not a personal failure or success story.
Worth reading and worth asking what lessons countries like Australia keep ignoring.#happiness #denmark #wellbeing #society #education #mentalhealth #nordicmodel

"#Sexwork in #Sweden operates under the #NordicModel, also known as the “Equality,” “Entrapment,” or “End Demand Model,” which #criminalizes #buyingsex but not selling sex. The text of the newly-passed bill states that criminal liability for the purchase of #sexualservices shouldn’t have to require physical contact between the buyer and seller anymore, and should expand to online sex work, too.
Sweden’s law isn’t isolated to European countries. In the U.S., #Maine adopted the Nordic Model in 2023."

Sex work is work. Criminalizing it, doesn't end demand, it just makes working in that field more dangerous.

Press release: Sex workers in Ireland face more stigma than other countries says new research
SWAI and other sex workers' rights advocates have welcomed the new research published today by Dr. Lynzi Armstrong, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand that finds that criminalisation harms sex workers in Ireland.
-
The law is failing to reduce the number of people who purchase sex. However, the Queens University research that reviewed how the law was operating in Northern Ireland said that the law had created an atmosphere of fear that had an impact on the sex worker’s psychological wellbeing.
-
There is an inherent imbalance of power when the person who is paying for sex has the power to arrest, detain or deport the sx worker. The law has failed, yet again, to deter purchasers and to put the balance of power back in favour of sx workers.

Here is a great post, written by an active sex worker, about why the Nordic Model of client criminalisation is failing sex workers. We have client criminalisation in Ireland and it has not reduced trafficking or exploitation but it has increased violence and stigma.

CW: "Nordic Model" critique (sex trade law)
Useful explainer from @pandorablake about the so-called "Nordic Model" (criminalising people who pay for sex). It's often presented as being protective to women, but its real-life outcomes don't line up with that.
"Under the Nordic model, sex workers are obliged to protect clients from police attention in order to get work, rather than police protecting sex workers from abusive clients."

Those who want prohibition did learn nothing from history. Who still promotes the #nordicmodel has never talked with sexworkers. Forget your stigmatas. Listen.

I developed the idea for the center with Christina Salmivalli and Andre Sourander in 2018, got a huge grant (17m€) to launch it and started INVEST in 2019. The acronym stands for “Inequalities, Interventions and the New Welfare State”. That summarizes what we do, study #inequality and develop #intervention s to tackle them in a context of different #welfarestate s, often in the context of #NordicModel and focusing on children, adolescents and young adults (no forgetting older folks either!)
