- yieldcrv 3y agocorrect, a labor rights issue. just like labor trafficking is still a big problem .... everywhere. tackling this as a commercial sex issue debilitates avenues for addressing labor rights issues.

- briantakita 3y ago> False. Human labor trafficking receives high praise from the global ruling class for its excellent profitability. It is also an effective tool to blackmail willing & unwilling lawmakers, corporate heads, & officials to control policy.
- 111111IIIIIII 3y agoFair point. It is a fabulous means for the pursuit of both profit and power.
- speleding 3y agoTrafficking and abuse are a problem in Amsterdam. But there is good reason to believe that the problem is a bit smaller than in jurisdictions where prostitutes have to hide from law enforcement. (There have been several studies evaluating the effectiveness of Dutch regulation, but comparing the relatively accurate numbers from the Dutch police force with the guesstimates from countries where prostitution isn't legal, means that conclusions are pretty soft).
- LorenPechtel 3y agoYeah, the data is very lacking. However, there's a huge advantage to a legal transaction in that if something goes wrong the wronged party need not fear going to the police. It's much better for disputes to be settled in court than by violence.
