The Nordic Model, which criminalises the purchase of sex, was pushed heavily by feminist groups and officially became a law in Sweden in 1999. Other countries like Norway, Iceland, France, and most recently Ireland in 2017 followed suit. Even in Amsterdam where sex work is legal, Project 1012, a government initiative started in 2007 to gentrify the Red Light District, has forced countless brothels and window workers to the outskirts of the city or to close up shop completely.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/10X0xLmGSnfHri\" width=\"630\" height=\"330\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/black-hollywood-10X0xLmGSnfHri\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For years sex workers have been speaking out about the harm that legislation and initiatives like these have, not just to their livelihoods but their actual physical safety. However it often fell on deaf ears as large, respectable media organisations often turned to anti-sex work activists in academia rather than sex workers or sex worker organisations for comment.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year or so, though, public opinion has started to shift dramatically. Sex workers who fought tirelessy to be heard are finally being given a platform to tell their own stories, and the general public seem eager to hear them. Last year journalist Noor Tagouri spoke with numerous workers from all different sides of the American industry in her critically acclaimed podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stitcher.com\/podcast\/stitcher\/sold-in-america\">Sold in America<\/a> to try to paint a picture of a very complex and complicated world. Last month an exhibition in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thewesternstar.com\/news\/local\/art-exhibit-highlights-stories-of-newfoundland-and-labrador-sex-workers-315642\/\">Newfoundland\u2019s Craft Council Gallery<\/a> titled \u201cLet Us Stop Living Secret Lives: The Visual Story of Sex Work\u201d gave workers the opportunity to document their day and bring to light the difficulties they face regarding the laws, access to healthcare, and issues within the industry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xpanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Webp.net-resizeimage-71.jpg\" alt=\"High Heels im Rotlichtviertel\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.xpanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Webp.net-resizeimage-71.jpg 830w, https:\/\/blog.xpanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Webp.net-resizeimage-71-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.xpanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Webp.net-resizeimage-71-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.xpanded.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Webp.net-resizeimage-71-720x480.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Celebrities who pride themselves in being a feminist voice like Susan Sarandon and Jameela Jamil are starting to come out of the woodwork in support of sex workers\u2019 rights and decriminalisation, which is what advocacy groups like Sex Workers Outreach Program and NGO\u2019s like Amnesty International and UNAIDS have been demanding from countries all along.
