 Bills from women parliamentarians criminalising clients continued to be presented, and the Government was criticised for inaction.The resulting government bill (5 February 1998) packaged both commission reports together as a Violence Against Women Act ("Kvinnofrid"), including criminalisation of purchase in the prostitution provisions and measures to combat sexual harassment in the workplace.It was sponsored by both the Prime Minister, Göran Persson, and the Minister for Gender Equality, Ulrika Messing.
