Victory in Norway! Norwegian Parliament Outlaws the Buying of Sex

Nov 20th, 2008 by admin

From Gunilla of the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women listserv via Karla Mantilla:

Dear Friends,

I just received the news that the Norwegian Parliament passed the legislation that prohibits the purchase of a sexual service - 44 votes vot, 28 against. The Law will come into force on January 1, 2009!!!

This is indeed a great victory for all of us. Congratulations to the all the women in Norway and internationally who worked to hard to get the law passed!!!!

Warmest greetings to all of you!

Gunilla
