"Trafficking in persons for purposes of sexual exploitation is one of the worst violations of human rights and dignity. Worryingly, it is one of the developing areas of human trafficking." - Jean-Claude BRUNET

In his message of support, French Ambassador-at-large Jean-Claude Brunet talks about the effects of the ‘Nordic’ / equality law model adopted by France in 2016 to regulate commercial sex.

This legislative model focuses on changing the mindset & on increased responsibility on the demand side of prostitution, and fostering the agency of girls and women to avoid or escape situations of sexual exploitation.
This model can positively contribute to dismantling criminal networks involved in human sex trafficking.
