Where was I?
Sexual service, if you want a definition, is not defined in the legislation. It gets defined in the courts, and it's a wide definition. Anyone who gives something for a sexual service--who pays for it or gives food or somewhere to stay or something like that--can purchase it. We also have prohibited ads in the papers, as you have, miles and miles, up and down, in all of the papers. That is not allowed, because we know that those ads are of course not from the women; it is the pimps who put those in and make money. Also, the newspapers make an enormous amount of money from them.
We know that this work has been in place for eight years now. We hear both from pimps and from the women who are victims that the pimps discuss whether Sweden is a good market. In the phone tapping evidence we have, usually the pimps are recommended to go to other countries where the prostitution industry has been normalized or legalized, like Germany, Holland, Denmark, and Spain.
I have written an article specifically on this legislation that I can also give to the committee.
