Spot on! In the Nordic Model (aka Equality Model), violence towards (female) sex workers is both a means and a goal.

Sweden's 2010 review of its policy is crystal clear: "negative effects must be viewed as positive from the perspective that the purpose of the law is indeed to combat prostitution.”

Talking to Swedish people, and looking at the scene there, you will see that there is a lot of trafficking going on in practice.

Because the system completely backfires. Buyers still want to buy, but they do not want to girl to tell on them to the police afterwards or to blackmail them saying they will go to the police. So the kind of women they feel safer with are women who don’t speak the local language and who would get in trouble for something else (invalid visa?) if they’d go to the police. Which stimulates trafficking.
