There are well-intentioned people who think allowing men to purchase the bodies of vulnerable women and girls is somehow a good thing. They think making s*x buying, pimping, and brothel-owning fully legal would be “safe” or “empowering” for women. But these ideas are just a clever narrative pushed by the s*x industry’s predatory profiteers. Research reveals that one of the most dehumanizing and dangerous places for a woman to be is in the s*x industry, and most women who are in it want to escape. Countries that have fully legalized the purchase of s*x have seen an increase in trafficking and have had disastrous results due to the surge of demand for violent s*x acts. One woman who survived New Zealand’s fully legal s*x industry shared, “I thought legal prostitution would give more power and rights to the women, but I soon realized the opposite was true.”
For these reasons, Exodus Cry is honored to be among the many anti-trafficking organizations who stand firmly behind the Abolition Model (aka Nordic Model or Equality Model) because this is the only model of legislation that reduces trafficking and offers services to exploited women so they can break free from prostitution.
