I studien undersöks hur socialtjänsten i mindre kommuner kan arbeta med personer som befinner sig i prostitution. Införandet av förbud mot köp av sexuella tjänster har lett till att socialtjänsten blivit en av de myndigheter som bär det främsta ansvaret för arbetet med personer som befinner sig i prostitution. Tillsammans med andra myndigheter och organisationer är tanken att socialtjänsten ska samverka för att stärka och effektivisera arbetet. Källor som används i studien tyder på att prostitution är ett storstadsfenomen och de mindre kommunerna kan glömmas bort i forskning. I studien intervjuades därför anställda inom socialtjänsten i mindre kommuner så de kunde dela med sig av sina upplevelser och erfarenheter. Resultatet visade att samtliga informanter sällan kom i kontakt med personer som befann sig i prostitution och de kunde inte uppskatta hur många individer det rörde sig om i kommunen. Samtliga informanter angav att de saknade handlingsplaner, rutiner, metoder och fungerande samverkan med andra aktörer avseende prostitution. Arbetsmetoderna anpassades individuellt utifrån individens behov och beprövade metoder togs ofta från andra ärenden. Studiens slutsatser är att det kunde saknas kunskap om prostitution hos myndigheter och allmänheten, vilket kunde leda till att personer sällan sökte stöd och att socialtjänsterna i mindre kommuner saknade standardiserade lösningar. Vidare drogs slutsatserna att prostitution kunde skildras som ett lågprioriterat område inom socialtjänsten i mindre kommuner. Samtidigt kunde det finnas ett positivt synsätt hos informanterna att utveckla sina kunskaper, expertis och sprida information om ämnet till allmänheten. Förslag på framtida forskning vore således att undersöka om det skett någon förändring inom området.

Prostitution is the oldest form of oppression. Many prostituted women in South Africa wish to exit sex work, but are unable to because they have no other means of earning money. There is a dearth of research available on assisting prostituted women to exit sex work in South Africa. This study explored the effectiveness of a Cape Town-based NGO's - Embrace Dignity - exit intervention for prostituted women. Using semi-structured interviews it investigated the experiences of eight prostituted women in Cape Town. The research goal was to be able to inform improvements to the intervention for exit. An interpretative phenomenological approach was used to analyse interviews of women's experiences of the intervention. Findings revealed that attempting to exit prostitution in South Africa is an incredibly difficult and deeply complex process. An exploration of women's experiences of Embrace Dignity suggested that whilst it provides emotional and social support to prostituted women, it does not address their physical needs, most importantly that of employment. This study reveals that although emotional support plays a crucial role in assisting prostituted women to exit, it is secondary to the urgent physical support needed to satisfy the basic survival needs of prostituted women living in extreme poverty in South Africa.

Studiens övergripande syfte har varit att belysa socialtjänstens arbete med kvinnor som befinner sig i prostitution, som sker såväl fysiskt som på internet. Studien har haft en kvalitativ ansats och innefattar fyra semi-strukturerade intervjuer med yrkesverksamma inom socialtjänsten, både socialarbetare på kommunal nivå och regionkoordinatorer på en regional nivå. Intervjuerna ämnar lyfta de yrkesverksammas erfarenheter och uppfattningar om arbetet med målgruppen. Intervjuerna har vidare tolkats med stöd i tidigare forskning inom området, Bronfenbrenners utvecklingsekologiska teori, teorin om institutionellt arbete samt begreppen handlingsutrymme och gatekeeper. De yrkesverksamma redogör för ett varierande arbete med kvinnor som befinner sig i prostitution, där arbetsuppgifterna skiljer sig åt beroende på vilken nivå de arbetade på. Vidare identifierades två centrala utmaningar i arbetet mot prostitution, att området är oprioriterat och osynliggjort utanför storstäderna samt att kunskapen till stor del är personbunden. Internet uppgavs vara både en utmaning och en möjlighet i arbetet, även hur man arbetade med internet som ett verktyg tycktes variera beroende på vilken nivå man arbetade på. Slutligen lyftes samverkan som den främsta möjligheten i arbetet med prostitution.

This work maps the supply of social assistance to prostitutes in Dubí. Its aim is to determine which organizations are active in this direction and what is their job. For this detection was used a method called "snowball", followed by an analysis of written documents of these organizations and data collection through interviews with their staff. It was found that five oraganizations were here. Of these are currently only three aktive: Rozkoš bez rizika, Diecézní charita i Litoměřice and WHITE LIGHT I. I managed to create an overview of the activities of all the identified entities. Some information about conditions that they have in Dubí were found at the same time. The results of my work can be used by organisations themself for their better work coordination, as well as for city hall, which could be able to gain a better view of services, which have been afforded in its scope.

The Main goal of this thesis is the comparison of fates of the Jewish heroes in the Second world war. I will compare five selected proses written by Arnost Lustig. My focus will be on the fates of the Jewish women during the second world war and how this extreme experience affected their characters and moral believes. The source of the thesis will be the listed primary literature, which was selected to show the uniqueness and individuality of so strong experience, which the second world war and holocaust definitely was. Concurrently, it demonstrates the fact that under influence of their shared fate, are the heroes of the stories in many ways very similar. I will also focus on the questions regarding the dignity and morality and how the Jewish woman deals with their lost of personal and life assurances.

The purpose of this thesis is to defend and prove, through four contexts and various arguments, the research standpoint which states that there should be a regulation of sex robots and the use of sex robots. The method used is an argumentation analysis which is used to analyze the arguments pro and contra sex robots and the use of the robotic device. Through a normative framework, the precautionary principle is applied, along with various Human Rights Conventions, as a ground in favor of the regulation. The concluding thoughts of the thesis show that the majority of arguments prove there being the possible risks of objectification, pedophilia, sexual assault, and rape, that sex robots expose women and children to, and therefore there should be a regulation of sex robots and the use of sex robots.

On the 14th of may 2020, the Swedish TV- personality and entrepreneur Paolo Roberto was captured by the police when he bought sex from a prostitute. The next day he went out on television and apologized to the people and described himself as a victim by blaming the purchase of sex on his self-harming behavior. This announcement became a scandal and the result was that all of the newspapers started to write about it. This case study’s purpose was to see how Paolo Roberto’s purchase of sex was framed, how the prostitute and also how prostituion was framed in two tabloid newspapers, Aftonbladet and Expressen, from a scandal perspective. This case study also studied if the newspapers describe the sexbuyers position or the prostitutes situation.  Framing analysis was the method that was used in the case study of 20 news articles, 10 from each newspaper.  The results of this study shows that the sexbuyer Paolo Roberto is framed as the “fired entrepreneur” and all of the focus was on his company that fired him and ended their cooperation with him. Another two frames included “Lack of personality” and “Loss of sexual norms”. In this frames actors and well known persons were interviewed and they talked about his punishment, that he didn`t understand the sexual norms, and his lack of personality. The prostitute was framed as a “victim” when she got mentioned in the newspaper, which wasn´t much. She also got a frame for “not mentioned at all” and another frame when she was mentioned she got “The women from one of Europe's poorest countries”. There was no other information about her, so the reader gets no more information about who she is more than a “poor woman” or just a “woman”. This left the reader to construct the prostituted woman by themself. The frame of prostituion was when it was mentioned, which wasn’t much, to “Fight prostitution” and means that all focus is to catch the sexbuyers. Another frame that was discovered was “Is there any prostituion?” because prostitution is not mentioned in the news articles. This was because Paolo Roberto’s sex purchase got all of the attention with his companys and other people´s opinions.

This thesis explores to what extent prostitution policy can influence human trafficking for sexual purposes. It questions if criminalization of prostitution and legalization of prostitution can result in different outcomes, interfering with sex trafficking. This research is conducted as a comparative case study where Sweden illustrates the criminalization of prostitution and the Netherlands legalization of prostitution.  This study will focus on three main theories to understand the complexity behind the issue and the background of the different policy designs. First, the three-pronged approach commonly used in trafficking legislation will be implemented as a framework to analyze the national action plans to combat human trafficking. Moreover, the prostitution policies will be explored from a sexual liberal and radical feminist perspective. The main findings are that both criminalization and legalization of prostitution affect the establishment of sex trafficking within the country. Sweden and the Netherlands share the aim of combatting human trafficking by implementing their prostitution policy. However, they disagree on how to do so effectively. The conclusion will suggest that both approaches can succeed if enough resources and funding are put towards the issue.
