Since 1999, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Canada, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Israel and the State of Maine (USA) have adopted Abolitionist Model legislations. Legislative battles are currently taking place in many other States thanks to the combined efforts of parliamentarian champions and the civil society.

In this panel, Parliamentarians, advocates and survivors from South Africa, Canada, France and Spain will tell us about their fight to obtain, implement and protect Abolitionist legislations.
