Germany Debates Nordic Model for Sex Work

On November ninth, a heated debate erupted in Germany over sex work legislation, with conservative politician Julia Klöckner advocating for a ban on prostitution and Health Minister Nina Warken supporting a criminal ban on clients purchasing sex. The current legal framework, which recognizes sex work as a legal service, has been criticized for contributing to human trafficking and forced prostitution. Klöckner and Warken propose the Nordic model, which criminalizes the purchase of sex but not its sale, aiming to reduce demand and empower sex workers.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
