Abstract
At the end of the twentieth century, both Germany and Sweden engaged in extensive discussions of prostitution ? discussions that resulted in two very different prostitution policies. Whereas prostitution was made a legal profession in Germany, the purchase (but not the selling) of sexual favours was forbidden in Sweden. This paper examines the debates that preceded this legislation. Different women?s organisations were active as lobby groups to speed up prostitution laws in both countries. As I will show, even the countries? traditions of policies of gender equality may have influenced how lawmakers decided to cope with the phenomenon of prostitution.
