Prostitution in Trondheim has limited legality which means that not everything about the sexual trade is allowed. In the city, selling sexual services is legal; however, purchasing sex is illegal. And under the Norwegian Criminal Code (Straffeloven) section 378 and section 202(3), soliciting and advertising sexual services is illegal.
Under their law, any person who forces, threatens or abuses another person's vulnerability for the purpose of prostitution, forced labour or services, military service in another country, removal of the said person's organs shall be guilty of human trafficking and shall be liable to imprisonment for a period of not exceeding five years.
In Norway, as a whole, prostitution is illegal; however, it is the client or the person who paid for the sexual service and not the prostitute who will be prosecuted. Pimping, as well as the establishment of brothels, are also illegal. Despite this trade being illegal, thousands of prostitutes still live in Norway and the industry seems to be growing every year.
With the advent of technology, Norway escorts who work for escort agencies or as independent escorts can now be reached through the phone or through certain websites. You can also see these ladies in strip clubs, lap dance bars, and brothels. Lately, bars and restaurants are now being used as venues for prostitution, as well as tanning salons. It has also been reported that several women coming from economically distressed countries such as Greece and Spain are in the country to work as prostitutes. There is also an increase in Romanian prostitutes.
On the LGBT laws, despite existing laws allowing same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination, there is the so-called Law of Jant which is an unwritten rule that is planted in each of the Norwegian children’s heads that say, “whatever you do, don’t be different.”
Being a gay in Norway, as well as in most of Scandinavia could be a blessing since lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders are very liberal and they have rights equivalent to the non-LGBTs. It is also the first country to enact an anti-discrimation law protecting homosexuals. And so same-sex marriage, intravenous fluid assisted insemination treatments, as well as adoption for lesbian couples, have been legal since 2009.
General Attitude Towards Gays
Even if there are existing laws that protect the members of the LGBT community against discrimination, still other members are not being treated well in their school, workplace and even at home. Also despite the country celebrating 200 years of constitutional democracy, still not everyone is enjoying equal rights.
The results of a survey conducted on people attitude towards the LGBT last 1999 and 2013 showed that over the 14 years that have passed, there has been a positive attitude from the public towards the members of the LGBT. However, visibly trans people are still not fully accepted.
