I've always been curious about this. Sure human trafficking brings poor women in against their will but what happens then? They obviously can't work in legal brothels because they wouldn't have a work permit and I'm not sure who would visit shady illegal brothels if legal brothels existed or even where they would be set up. Also, in a country with legal prostitution, aren't there regular inspections? interviews with the workers? I can understand in a poor country but how are these women being held against their will in shady establishments in a country with strong laws and an effective police force.

i believe it is legal in the UK, but lots of activities related to it (e.g. running a brothel, soliciting it in public places) are illegal. afaik (i have no real, direct, experience of this tbh, so don't quote me) there are none of these safety measures that you see in Vegas or Amsterdam etc. its basically treated as a form of self employment and is completely unregulated. you should also consider the psychologies of vulnerable and desperate young women and criminal gangs. there is a long history of techniques they will both use to avoid problems with the police and both types will see it as protecting themselves from harm...

Oh but a number of them do work legally. Their masters pay all the fees to get them into the country and then they work off the loan for the rest of their life. This method isn't just used to import women.
