Overrepresented Yet Overlooked: LGBTQ Survivors of Trafficking and the Imperative for the Nordic Approach to Sex Trafficking Laws in the United States

Authors

Claire Mooney, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

Abstract

The note argues that LGBTQ survivors of human trafficking are disproportionately affected by inadequate legal frameworks and societal discrimination. It advocates for the adoption of the Nordic Model in the U.S., which criminalizes the purchase of sex while decriminalizing its sale, to better address the needs of LGBTQ survivors and align with international human rights standards.
