Iceland

The Icelandic Parliament has passed a new legislation which makes paying for prostitution illegal. Those caught paying for prostitution could face a fine or up to one year in prison. If the person they are purchasing sexual services from is under the age of 18, they risk up to two years in prison. Opinion polls have shown that up to 70% of the population supports banning the purchase of sexual services.
