We have plenty of places decriminalizing sex work. What they are not decriminalizing, however, is purchasing sex work. Both are required for the first item on your list to do anything. And it that is going to require a lot of nuance, too. I recall seeing someone reacting to a post by a former sex worker who lamented how these men had been "raping her body." If that is considered a valid viewpoint, then even more work must be done at the decriminalization level, otherwise you will have seller's remorse hanging over someone with a very long statute of limitations.

Right, it must be decriminalized entirely, not just select aspects. It reminds me of when a lot of places decriminalized marijuana possession, while somehow forgetting that weed does not materialize out of thin air but must be grown and distributed. Meaning the thing they just "decriminalized" was still part and parcel of illegal acts. So far only those same cowardly half-measures have been used towards sex work in most of the US.
