卖淫:
法律方面

瑞典一直尝试着自己的独特管理方法：出卖性服务是合法的，但是购买性服务却是犯罪。因而，当妓女的顾客被捕的时候，她却自由自在。瑞典政府的法律文献所陈述的法律解释如下：
|
“在瑞典，卖淫被认为是一种男性侵犯妇女儿童的暴力。它被正式公认为一种对妇女儿童的剥削行为，并且会导致一个严重的社会问题，即不仅伤害了个体形式的卖淫妇女或儿童，而且普遍地伤害了社会……。只要男人通过嫖妓来购买、销售和剥削妇女儿童，性别平等将仍然难以达到。”

自从这部法律1999年颁布以来，支持者把它作为一项巨大的成就予以高度赞扬，而且把它推荐给了其它的立法机构。而反对者把它作为一个彻头彻尾的失败予以猛烈的抨击，而且已经警告其它国家不要步瑞典的后尘而犯同样的错误。这种常常激昂的纷争，涉及到大量多种多样法律的、心理上的、社会的和经济上的难于验证的论据和主张。在本教程里，我们因此不得不罗列针对论争双方就此论题的某些原始资料。

Prostitution: Legal Aspects 3
|
|
A unique approach is being tried in
Sweden: Selling sexual services is legal, but buying them is a crime. Thus, a prostitute walks free when her customer is arrested. The rationale behind this legislation is stated in the government's literature on the 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, which is harmful not only to the individual prostituted woman or child, but also to society at large.... Gender equality will remain unattainable so long as men buy, sell and exploit women and children by prostituting them."

|
Since the enactment of this law in 1999, proponents have praised it as a great success and recommended it to other legislatures. Opponents have denounced it as a complete failure and have warned other countries against making the same mistake as Sweden. This often passionate debate involves a great variety of legal, psychological, sociological, and economic arguments and assertions that are not easily verified. In the present course, we must therefore be content with pointing to some original sources on both sides of the issue.
