For centuries we have been arresting the wrong people. Prostitution exists because of the demand for it. The time has come to penalize demand.
SPACE is an international organization that consists of survivors from around the world, speaking out, changing how we think about prostitution; advocating for the Equality Model which is the most effective and comprehensive approach in addressing the sex trade. The Equality Model (Nordic Model) decriminalizes prostituted people, holds sex buyers and exploiters accountable while closing “on ramps” into the sex trade and opens “off ramps” which is critical for those that need access to needed resources and viable options.
