Camilla Lindberg

In her youth, Lindberg was an active participant in the Swedish Libertarian network Frihetsfronten ("The Freedom Front"), and was a friend of later author Johan Norberg.

[3] For her determination in the question she was awarded the Bertil Ohlin-medal on 9 August 2008 by the Swedish Liberal Youth League during a formal reception which among others former Prime Minister of Sweden, Ola Ullsten attended.

[citation needed] Another controversy involves taking a stand against the dominant discourse on prostitution (in 1999 a coalition of Social Democrats, Greens and leftists outlawed the buying but not the selling of sexual services, as a form of violence against women, and this view is now accepted among the whole political spectrum).

Lindberg claimed that the “story of the tragic woman who is exploited” is one that is not entirely true, and that the state should differentiate between voluntary and forced prostitution, and should license brothels.

Her stance puts her at odds with the left, and she was also criticized from the right: such as Christian Democrat Katarina Gustavsson [7] who stated that to the contrary, Sweden must export its purchasing law to the rest of Europe.
