We have just received the first batch of our new ‘What is the Nordic Model?’ flyers / leaflets / pamphlets. They are similar to our previous ones but they’ve had a bit of a redesign. They are printed on A4 paper folded over, making four sides of A5. Below we provide references for the information shown.

If you live in the UK and would like some flyers to give out in your local community and political groups, you can get some in our shop.

Prostitution is unequal

Punters – all of the statistics and, with one exception, the quotes on the Punters side are from the 2009 Men who buy sex report called by Eaves. The exception is the penultimate quote, which comes from punternet.

Prostituted women – the statistics are from Melissa Farley’s article, Prostitution is sexual violence.

The references for the quotes are as follows:
