Fair Sex is sex on equal terms. No one should be a slave, forced to satisfy another person’s sexual needs. Countries with laws against sex trade  have taken a position for Fair Sex. Currently, only three European countries do this: Sweden, Norway and Iceland.

Prostitution and sex trafficking is the opposite of Fair Sex. Countries that legalise pimping are Unfair Sex countries. Countries that legalise and normalize the act of buying sex are also Unfair Sex countries.

The new EU directive on trafficking in human beings, which was passed in March 2011, missed the opportunity to make it illegal to buy sex from a trafficked person. The criminalisation is crucial for putting an end to sex trafficking, since it would reduce the demand that fosters trafficking, make it less profitable and more risky. As long as the sex buyer has no liability, it’s business as usual for the human traffickers.
