Selling sex doesn't need to be decriminalised because it isn't illegal. Sex workers get arrested but it is usually for 'brothel keeping' or soliciting. In Nordic Model countries they say that they have 'shifted the burden of criminality' from sex workers onto their clients, from women to men. That's not true though.
In no Nordic Model country has brothel keeping been decriminalised. Women still get arrested. Some sex workers have pimps and some don't. I'm not interested in decriminalising pimps but I am interested in decriminalising women who work together. They keep the profits for themselves, they make the rules for themselves. They control who they see and they control what they do with their clients. It isn't true what they say in the Nordic Model Now! handbook. Sex workers don't have to do anything that the client wants.
Before the Nordic Model was introduced in Ireland the then justice minister Frances Fitzgerald doubled the penalties for brothel keeping. Two young Romanian women were arrested, as mentioned in Dr Geoffrey Shannon's official report into the Nordic Model there. They weren't the only ones. Ireland has failed to come up with the money to help women exit and there is no evidence of a reduction in demand.
Not only can't women work together, if they decide to hire someone to answer the phones or anything, that person is regarded as a pimp (as is their landlord). Frances Fitzgerald said that women might pretend that they are not being pimped, but how can you arrest women because they might have been pimped? You are arresting someone for someone else's crime (if they have been pimped), and moreover you are arresting a woman for a man's crime. Where's the justice in that?
