Prior to the 18th-century
Prostitution is not mentioned in any law texts in Sweden in the middle ages, and was thus not formally a crime. However, under the influence of the church, sexual acts outside of marriage were criminalised for both sexes regardless of circumstances, which also affected prostitutes. The normal punishment for extramarital sexual relations was fines or (if the accused was unable to pay them) pillorying, whipping, or other disciplinarian physical punishments within the Kyrkoplikt. The ban on extr...
Eighteenth century
The earliest law to explicitly ban prostitution was in the Civil Code of 1734, where procuring and brothel-keeping were punished with whipping, imprisonment and forced labor, and prostitution at a brothel with forced labor. From 1724 onward, unmarried women in Stockholm with no certification asserting that they were supported by a legal profession, a personal fortune or by a sponsor guaranteeing their economic support, could be arrested for vagrancy and placed at the Långholmens spinnhus to p...
Nineteenth century
In 1812, a law was introduced which allowed compulsory medical examination and treatment of anyone suspected of carrying a sexual disease, a law that was in practice mostly forced upon women in the capital suspected by the police of being prostitutes, which lead to protests of harassment.In common with many other European countries, Sweden delegated prostitution control to local authorities from 1833 onwards. Between 1838 and 1841, an attempt was made by the local authorities in the capital o...
Sweden has had an active debate on gender equality since the 1960s, and this has resulted in a number of institutional structures such as the Ministry of Equal Status (1976) and the Equal Opportunities Ombudsman (1980).A gendered recommendation on rape by a state commission on sexual offences in 1976 evoked a remarkable consensus within both the wo...
After passage of purchase law
Although the political scene had changed by 2005, the parties that had voted against the sex purchase law in 1998, and were now in power, no longer opposed it, and it became a non-partisan issue, although individual politicians still questioned the wisdom of the policy. On 3 May 2009, Hanna Wagenius of the Centre Party Youth introduced a motion to repeal the sex purchase law, arguing that it did not help women involved in prostitution and that trafficking had actually increased since the law...
After publication of the evaluation
The law continues to remain controversial in Sweden, with regular debates in the media. On 30 January 2011, writing in Newsmill, Helena von Schantz challenged the Liberal party leadership as to why it supported the lengthening of sentences for buying sex.These penalties came into force on 1 July 2011. In 2011, a research paper on the consequences of the Swedish legislation to sex workers concluded that the realisation of the desired outcomes of the legislation is hard to measure, whereas the...
Criminalising the Purchase of Sex: Lessons from Sweden
An academic book by researcher Dr Jay Levy was published in 2015, and addresses the outcomes of the criminalisation of the purchase of sex in Sweden. The book is informed by fieldwork and interviews undertaken with sex workers in Sweden between 2008 and 2012, and also includes interviews with policy makers, politicians, police and social workers. Levy emphasises that the sex purchase law has resulted in numerous harms associated with sex work, and has not been demonstrated to decrease levels...
Purchasing sex
Sweden's Sex Purchase Act (Swedish: Sexköpslagen), enacted in 1999, makes it illegal to purchase "sexual services" (sexuell tjänst), but not to sell them. The rationale for criminalising the purchaser, but not the seller, was stated in the 1997 government proposition, namely that "...it is unreasonable to also criminalise the one who, at least in most cases, is the weaker party who is exploited by others who want to satisfy their own sexual desires". The Act (amended to be part of the Crimina...
Third party activities
Prior to the sex purchase law, third party activities were already criminalised under the Criminal Code, as 6.12, so that the 1999 law increased the sanctions directed against sexual exchange.
Sweden is a destination and, to a lesser extent, source and transit country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Sex trafficking victims largely originate from Eastern Europe, Africa, East Asia, and the Middle East, though Swedish women and girls are vulnerable to sex trafficking within the country. Roma, primarily from Romania and ...

Sep 23, 2016 · Sexually open-minded Swedes. One of the many reasons why Sweden is associated with a liberal sexual attitude might be the Swedish movies from the 50s and 60s. In some of those, bare female breasts were shown. In those days it was unthinkable in many other countries.
What's indisputable is that the Swedish law has rendered prostitution largely invisible. Those who remain in sex work say that this increases their job's stigma and danger, even if it doesn't explicitly criminalize them.
