So if criminalizing sex workers hurts them, why not just criminalize the people who buy sex?
那么如果判定，性工作者違法是在傷害她們，為什么不僅僅刑事處罰買春者呢？
This is the aim of the third approach
這正是第三種法律手段。
I want to talk about -- the Swedish or Nordic model of sex-work law.
這種被瑞典或北歐各國使用的法律模型。
The idea behind this law is that selling sex is intrinsically harmful
這項立法背后是說賣淫本身是有害的，
and so you're, in fact, helping sex workers by removing the option.
買春者實際上讓賣春者別無選擇。
Despite growing support for what's often described as the "end demand" approach,
然而除了所謂的“終極需求”有所增長之外，
there's no evidence that it works.
沒有證據顯示這項法律有用。
There's just as much prostitution in Sweden as there was before. Why might that be?
瑞典的賣淫者和以前一樣多。為什么會這樣？
It's because people selling sex often don't have other options for income.
因為性工作者往往確實沒有其他選擇。
If you need that money, the only effect that a drop in business is going have
如果你需要錢，業務量下降的唯一結果
is to force you to lower your prices or offer more risky sexual services.
就是讓你不得不降低你的價格或提供更危險的性服務。
If you need to find more clients, you might seek the help of a manager.
如果你需要更多的客戶，也許需要借助上級的幫助
So you see, rather than putting a stop to what's often descried as pimping,
所以可見這樣立法不僅沒有起到禁止所謂皮條客的作用，
a law like this actually gives oxygen to potentially abusive third parties.
反而讓第三方的存在越演愈烈。
To keep safe in my work, I try not to take bookings from someone who calls me from a withheld number.
為了工作安全，我盡量不接受匿名電話預定的嫖客
If it's a home or a hotel visit, I try to get a full name and details.
如果是去別人家里或者酒店，我盡量拿到客人全名和信息。
If I worked under the Swedish model, a client would be too scared to give me that information.
但是如果我在瑞典法制下工作，顧客可能因為太害怕而拒絕給我信息。
I might have no other choice but to accept a booking from a man who is untraceable if he later turns out to be violent.
我沒有辦法，只能接受匿名電話的預定，也許這就是一名暴力罪犯。
If you need their money, you need to protect your clients from the police.
如果你需要錢，你就必須保護顧客遠離警察。
If you work outdoors, that means working alone or in isolated locations,
如果你出門工作，就意味著自己工作或者在僻靜處工作，
just as if you were criminalized yourself.
就好像你自己判定自己有罪一樣。
It might mean getting into cars quicker, less negotiating time means snap decisions.
這就意味著快速地上車，沒什么時間思考和做決定。
