Most women are trafficked from eastern Europe and most traffickers are eastern Europeans. Holland have legalized prostitution. The Dutch government decided to legalize it because its easier to protect them and take the criminal elements out of it.
I agree with that because it can be carefully regulated, encourages safe sex and provides another source of taxable revenue.
You're making a blanket ignorant statement. Why are prostitutes in Holand safer than prostitutes in USA and Brazil?
Prostitutes are not safe anywhere! There's an increased risk of getting raped, robbed and killed for prostitutes the only reform that seems to change that fact is the Swedish model where the buyers can be convicted. The criminalization of pimps and Johns is what makes prostitution 'safer" for women. Not legalizing the buying and selling of women.
With the Nordic model the woman, because let's face it the vast majority of prostitutes are either women or children, has a voice against the man, that one that is either selling or buying her.
Without the Nordic Model prostitutes often find themselves not being taken seriously when reporting a crime committed against them.
I get it, you're a man that's protecting his interests but there's so many more huge problems with prostitution than just sex trafficking.
Human trafficking in Germany have persisted even though they legalized it. Between 2010 and 2012 there were around 30 000 trafficked people in Europe, the majority of them were women and children and guess what 85% of female victims were trafficked for sexual reasons!
Organised criminals can now easily traffic women into countries like Germany and England where no authorities will more than likely try to track down who's trafficked or not thanks to the legalization.
There's nothing that indicates legalizing prostitution minimizes sex trafficking. The problem does not lay with prostituted women but with the demand. End the demand by adopting the Nordic model which France just did.
I will recommend that you actually listen to what ex prostituted women have to say. They often talk about the Nordic model and about how they were trafficked and the crime they faced.
