In a recent Morning Star article proposing the Nordic Model, they are canvassing for people to attend the Unison conference. Unison has long supported the discredited Nordic model. Up for debate is to change this stance to support decriminalization as practiced in New Zealand. The lie which the Nordic Model Now is that Germany is a decriminalized country for sex work.  This is not true; sex work is controlled in Germany by law. Escorts have to register.  They also discredit the decriminalisation as practiced in New Zealand.  All the evidence is this has been a success. Even so NZ is not totally decriminalised, foreign visitors are not protected by the law.

There is only one country which decriminalises sex work, and that is New Zealand. In Australia certain states decriminalise sex work, and this is growing. One other country, Belgium is decriminalising sex work, and that is Belgium.

As Belgium is also removing sex work from its penal code, the country is now the first in Europe, and the second in the world, to officially decriminalise sex work.

Decriminalisation will be happening step by step. Firstly, self-employed sex workers will be able to do their job legally, and stricter action will be taken against the abuse of prostitution. Additionally, advertising for prostitution will be allowed, but only when someone advertises their own sexual services.

The next step will be regulating sex work for employees by imposing rules regarding safety, hygiene, and working conditions on companies.
