Trafficking 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).
