Editorial] Protecting the health of sex workers in the EU. thelancet.com The decriminalisation of sex work has long been a contentious issue, nowhere more so than in the EU, where member states are ideologically divided on sex work policies. The EU is currently debating a proposal on sex work that will be voted on at the end of June, before a Parliamentary-level vote expected by September. The draft document encourages member states to adopt a form of regulation in which clients but not sex workers are criminalised, with the promise of lessening the demand for sex work and reducing harms to women—an approach aligned with the so-called Nordic Model.
