Why are the prostitutes confined to the red light district, when their customers are allowed in all districts?
The increasing number of foreign prostitutes in Norway, as well as a more visible street prostitution, has brought about a debate concerning Norway’s attitude towards the trade in human beings. Is the problem that the prostitutes work the wrong streets, or is it a question of prostitution as an existing trade?
A similar increase to the one found in Norway can be detected all of Europe. One exception is Sweden. After passing a law in 1999 criminalising the act of buying services from prostitutes, Sweden effectively banned the sex trade. As a result, the demand for prostitutes has decreased, and Sweden is no longer an attractive market for human traffickers.

It is an enormous industry, with an enormous machinery to protect its interests, including PR-consultants, journalists and media, and even academics.

Presented on a debate meeting in Bergen, by Trude Håland, Spring 1999
The feminist group Ottar in Oslo are concerned with the suppression and discrimination of women generally, but we are most known for our work against what we call sexual oppression or violence; prostitution, pornography and sexual harassment and rape. I am invited here to debate Cinemateket's decision to show pornographic material.
