Just another quick note why I got the idea, it seems, at least to me that some sex workers depend on pimps for finding clients, protection and other services which reminded me of the mafia and their racketeering (my mom had a restaurant and was threatened for protection money as well). This sort of action is targeted by the government because it in a way negates the government's legitimacy and influence, because the taxes you pay ensure that you are under the protection of the government and mafia/pimps are in a way usurping that power. Thus instead of depending on underground/illegal organizations, it could be better to rely on a more public and generally more stable legal organization for protection and marketing, etc.
