The obvious solution is to legalize sex work - an industry the state is incapable of suppressing and the market is insistent on providing. In a high-income, high-trust society like Sweden they have significant advantages in perusing an approach that is perhaps more risky but also fundamentally less misaligned with the human condition.

The "Swedish model" for sex work is that selling sex is not illegal, but buying it is. Which looks good on paper, but drives pretty much the same behavior of pushing sex work underground as the normal reverse model.
