Through a website driven by the German company BLS Advertising, women are being sold like they were commodities in Kristiansand, Lillesand, Grimstad, Arendal, Vennesla and Lyngdal. After being sold the buyers rate the women in the website, writing intimate details and misogynist things about them.
This problem has increased during the pandemic and most of the women have done it out of economic desperation and wish to escape their situation.
On the stickers the slogans can be read: ”The women’s body is not a commodity!”, ”No to the sale of women’s bodies!”, ”Combat all
oppression of women!”.
