"Countries with legalized prostitution are associated with higher human trafficking inflows than countries where prostitution is prohibited. The scale effect of legalizing prostitution, i.e. expansion of the market, outweighs the substitution effect, where legal sex workers are favored over illegal workers. On average, countries with legalized prostitution report a greater incidence of human trafficking inflows."
- 01100011 6y agoIsn't that what you would expect when you initially legalize something that is illegal everywhere else? It gets worse before it gets better, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't follow the moral path and legalize it. You should be aware of that effect and prepare a response in advance, however.
