The Swedish view is that most people who sell sex do so because of economic pressure, coercion, addiction, migration insecurity, or past abuse. So instead of punishing the sex seller, the law treats them as victims, or someone who may need support by offering exit programs, housing, healthcare, and legal protection.
By criminalizing prostitutes would push them deeper underground, less likely to seek help, and increase dependence on pimps and violent clients.
The logic is simple, don’t punish people for being sold, punish people for buying, because the buyer holds all the power, creates demand, and perpetuates structural inequality.
