I don't know why you got downvoted for questioning this line, I think the original commenter needed more support for that claim. Statistics I can found show that human trafficking rates actually increase when legalization happens, since demand increases: https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-prostitution-increase-human-trafficking/ https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-... I might argue though that the countries who have legalized it so far are not taking enough steps to regulate it safely though. If Netherlands and the like can fix their system to actually reduce trafficking while allowing sex work, then this claim could be made one day. But there isn't research available that I could find which supports that this is the case in any legalized country today.
