Abstract
Submission to the Swedish government supported by 12 signatories in response to its commissioned evaluation of the Sex Purchase Law. The submission commends the government for its success in reducing the prevalence of prostitution and human trafficking in Sweden since the new law was adopted in 1999, and for its consistent work to support prostituted persons to leave the sex industry. Yet, the submission suggests stronger recognitions of the civil rights of prostituted persons so that they can claim damages from tricks for having sexually exploited them under coercive circumstances, thus violated their humanity, equality, and dignity as persons. The submission also notes that the official evaluation's suggestions do not go far enough, inter alia, in providing favorable conditions for prostituted persons to claim their rights. It suggests a number of further measures in both legal and policy oriented terms to counter sexual exploitation.
