- Summary
- La Strada International statement ahead of the vote in the European Parliament on the Report of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality on sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality (2013/2103(INI)).
La Strada International and its partners oppose the view that the "Swedish model" of criminalising clients of sex workers is the best way to prevent human trafficking and protect its victims.
