The Nordic Model The nordic model, which originally comes from Sweden, is flawed, and resembles the one we presently have in Canada in the sense that all activities surrounding prostitution is illegal, (Ka Hon Chu & Glass, p. 106). It is a one of the four models being advanced here in Canada.

If prostitution were to be legalised, it would become more structured and therefore it would be easier to hold people accountable for their actions, (Matas, p.10). If the police does not protect sex workers, and neither does the law then who will make sure their right to security of person will be respected?, (Altemimei,
