“We are working to create a society where human dignity is non-negotiable and where women and girls are not for sale. With public support, we can turn this ambition into a reality.”

On the Unbuyable website, Regan adds: “As a society, we must confront the uncomfortable truth that the buying of sex is not a victimless act; it’s a form of exploitation that leaves lasting scars.

“My mission is to end this practice in Scotland, ensuring that human dignity is not a commodity to be traded. Together, we can build a Scotland where everyone is truly Unbuyable.”

1. The payer or payee? How will that work?

2. It works well.

... Sweden ... outlawed the purchase of sex in 1999.

“Since then, attitudes have changed and now only 0.29 per cent of men in Sweden buy sex,” she wrote in an article for the Scotsman, adding elsewhere that some 10 per cent of UK men admit to paying for sex.

The Swedish law is now known as the "Nordic Model", and organisations including Tara (Trafficking Awareness Raising Alliance), the Encompass Network, Routes Out, and Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland have previously urged the Scottish Government to take a similar path.
