Due to restrictions of scope, and for the purpose of going deeper within each question, the analysis was based on only question one, two and four and focus on suggested solutions, underlying assumptions and on what is left unproblematic in the problem representation. We found that the problem representation of prostitution consists mainly of prostitution as a result and generator of inequality between men and woman and as men’s violence against women. Furthermore we found that men as sex sellers and harm reduction as measure are left unproblematic. (Less)
