Research
At Red Umbrella Sweden, we have been collaborating with ESWA on a research project exploring sex workers’ rights to justice and their experiences with Swedish police, compared to those in other European countries. The findings highlight how the Nordic Model adversely impacts sex workers, even from institutions like the police, which are meant to ensure their protection.
