About this project

<p>To fight the prostitution system and defend the human rights of women and girls through an #ExitProstitution information campaign, youth empowerment and research on a national level into the exit services needed for women to have real alternatives to the prostitution system. These three components make up a lobbying and advocacy strategy to promote with Portuguese policy makers the implementation of the Nordic model - also called Equality model in Portugal - the abolitionist feminist model of the prostitution system in force in several countries, including Norway.</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

Kvinnefronten, a Norwegian partner organization, actively contributed to the project by participating in partnership meetings, sharing knowledge about Norwegian law and equality campaigns, and providing policy recommendations. Despite pandemic-related challenges, they voluntarily worked over 100 hours, exceeding the budgeted hours. The partnership is set to continue with a new project proposal focused on women's and girls' human rights.
