Prostitution is legal in Sweden only in so far as the selling of sexual services is not a criminal act, however, the buying of sexual services is.
Decriminalising prostitution had absolutely nothing to do with tolerating it or encouraging it, in fact it's part of an overreaching strategy to eliminate it. Men caught purchasing sex in Sweden won't get a fine and a slap on the wrist, they will likely face jail time and substantial punitive fines.
Here it's the 'customers' that are charged with a crime, not the prostitutes. Charging the victims is pointless, does little to nothing to stop the problem, and making them criminals makes them unlikely to seek assistance getting out of the sex trade or keep up with medical care.
A quote from the government _about_ this law:
"In Sweden prostitution is regarded as an aspect of male violence against women and children. It is officially acknowledged as a form of exploitation of women and children and constitutes a significant social problem... gender equality will remain unattainable so long as men buy, sell and exploit women and children by prostituting them"
There's a good article about this here: http://sisyphe.org/article.php3?id_article=1424

in basic terms via fact its criminal would not propose it might decrease down on abuse or perhaps human trafficking as prostitution could seem greater sociably ideal and so call for could boost. I do think of it may be legalized nonetheless yet controls might decide for to be incredibly tight and it may be perplexing to enforce a solid equipment. in case you seem at different structures international huge, some artwork greater efficient than others. I agree that it is a persons' top to decide for in the event that they decide for to have intercourse and value for it. once I artwork my recommendations and my physique are used, i gets a commission for it, is that truly so diverse?

I agree with Matt_Helm. It goes on even tho its illegal. The company that I work for back in the 60's & 70's provided us with a bed partner when we had to travel out of town on business. They were called travel companions at that time Now they are Escorts

Absolutely not. There certainly is enough misery in the world with trafficked women & girls who are forced (physically or emotionally) into prostitution. Why promote as a society something that has so much misery attached to it in one way or another?

I believe prostitution should be legalized for the same reasons you described.
The same thing could be said for drugs as well.
