E13: Unbuyable: Scotland's Consultation on the Nordic Model

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we dive into the current consultation in Scotland, where a pivotal decision is being made about the future of sex work in the country. The Scottish government is considering whether to introduce the Nordic Model, a controversial approach that criminalizes the purchase of sex but not the selling. We explore what this could mean for sex workers' rights, public safety, and the broader implications for society.We feel that true justice lies in the full decriminalization of sex work—where the focus shifts to protecting the rights and dignity of workers, rather than criminalizing their livelihood. We discuss why the Nordic Model may not be the solution Scotland needs and examine alternative approaches that prioritize harm reduction, human rights, and empowerment.Tune in as we unpack the complexities of this critical issue and advocate for a future where sex workers are supported, not punished.Decrim Now's Open Letter opposing the Nordic Model English Collection of Prostitutes "No Nordic Model – Criminalising Clients Undermines Sex Workers’ Safety"Check out "Unbuyable" the proposed Nordic Model implementation in Scotland Consultation and add your views before the 30th of September 2024!Support the showCheck out our socials!Thank you so much for listening 💖
