Germany legalized prostitution in 2001 to improve conditions for sex workers, but it may have backfired. Prostitution has expanded greatly, with an estimated 400,000 sex workers catering to 1 million men daily. While known human trafficking cases have declined, critics argue this is likely due to unreported cases. The policy choice comes down to differing cultural views, as Swedes see the state as able to reduce prostitution but Germans are more skeptical of state intervention in personal matters.

In providing a counter-narrative, the Western world should do more in the way of understanding the elements that Islamist and Jihadist master narratives share. They should also be wary of inadvertently advancing the cause of such groups. Western societies have a much better opportunity in providing a counter-narrative to their own Muslim populations that can more effectively undermine the predominant Islamist and Jihadist narratives. Given the highly unfavourable views held of Christianity, Judaism and the West in general, it is futile to attempt to reverse years of fermenting hostility fostered by Islamist and Jihadist indoctrination. Instead, it is probably more likely that efforts to roll back and contain the radical narratives in Western countries will provide the most effective counter narrative yet

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Prostitution in Germany
A giant Teutonic brothel
Has the liberalisation of the oldest profession gone too far?
Nov 16th 2013 | BERLIN | From the print edition
She can get health insurance and a pension
HOW modern and liberated Germany’s Social Democrats and Greens sounded in 2001. They
were in government and wanted to raise the legal and social status of prostitutes. So they
enacted a law to remove the stigma from sex work by, for example, giving prostitutes full
rights to health insurance, pensions and other benefits. “Exploiting” sex workers remained
criminal, but merely employing them or providing them with a venue became legal. The idea
was that responsible employers running safe and clean brothels would drive pimps out of the
market.
Germany thus embarked on an experiment in liberalisation just as Sweden, a country
culturally similar in many ways, was going in the opposite direction. In 1999 the Swedes had
made it criminal to pay for sex (pimping was already a crime). By stigmatising not the
prostitutes but the men who paid them, even putting them in jail, the Swedes hoped to come
close to eliminating prostitution.
The two countries’ divergent paths have become hot political fodder in Germany. The centreright camp led by Angela Merkel, the chancellor, voted against the 2001 prostitution law. In
September it won the election but fell short of a majority in parliament. Mrs Merkel is now
negotiating with the Social Democrats (SPD), the co-authors of the law, to form a coalition.
And although the SPD is reluctant to acknowledge that it made an outright mistake, it is
conceding that changes are needed.

Prostitution seems to have declined in Sweden (unless it has merely gone deep
underground), whereas Germany has turned into a giant brothel and even a destination for
European sex tourism. The best guess is that Germany has about 400,000 prostitutes
catering to 1m men a day. Mocking the spirit of the 2001 law, exactly 44 of them, including
four men, have registered for welfare benefits.
The details vary regionally, because the federal states and municipalities decide where and
how brothels may operate. (Berlin is the only city without zoning restrictions.) In some
places, streetwalkers line up along motorways with open-air booths nearby for quickies. In
others, such as Saarbrücken, near the border with a stricter country like France,
entrepreneurs are investing in mega-brothels that cater to cross-border demand.
If all these sex workers were in the business of their own free will, that would still be within
the spirit of the 2001 law. Prostitutes’ associations insist that this is largely the case. But
nobody denies that many women become sex workers involuntarily. Of particular concern
are girls from poor villages in Romania and Bulgaria who may have been forced, tricked or
seduced to come to Germany. Once there, they are trapped as Frischfleisch (fresh meat) in
brothels, perhaps because they owe money to their traffickers or fear reprisals against their
families at home.
Extreme opponents of prostitution in Germany, such as Alice Schwarzer, a radical feminist,
conflate modern slavery and sex work, arguing that they are “inextricably entangled”. (Ms
Schwarzer has issued a petition, signed by celebrities, to criminalise paying for sex as Sweden
has.) Barbara Kavemann and Elfriede Steffan, two social researchers, say that slavery and sex
work are in fact separate phenomena, and that occurrences of forced labour by Romanians
and Bulgarians in the trade, as in agriculture and other sectors, “have little to do with the
prostitution law” and much more with the accession of those countries to the European
Union in 2007.
Known cases of human trafficking have actually decreased in Germany, from 987 in 2001 to
482 in 2011. Sceptics counter that most cases never become known because the girls are
afraid to testify. The link between liberalisation of prostitution and human trafficking thus
remains controversial. One study of 150 countries found that legalisation expands the market
for sex work and thus increases human trafficking. Prostitutes’ associations have attacked
the study as poorly sourced.
In the end, the policy choice comes back to culture and ideology, argues Susanne Dodillet at
the University of Göteborg. Both the Swedish and the German laws originated in the feminist
and left-leaning movements in these countries. But whereas progressive Swedes view their

state as able to set positive goals, Germans (the Greens, especially) mistrust the state on
questions of personal morality as a hypocritical and authoritarian threat to self-expression.
Only this can explain why Swedes continue overwhelmingly to support their policy, and
Germans theirs.
