Women's Issues: Sweden bans officials from staying in hotels that offer pornographic TV programs

The Swedish military has barred government officials from staying in hotels that offer pornographic TV programs.

The initiative of the Swedish military, which negotiates hotel space for public sector officials, is designed to protect women and improve the military's ability to recruit them.

Swedish military officials say pornographic materials are harmful and degrading to women. For that reason, they say will no longer arrange deals with hotels that offer pornography.
