countries where prostitution is legal have higher rates of human trafficking. thatâs like an actual fact. not an opinion or anything. so tbh it seems a bit âswerfyâ to completely ignore that
Why would trafficking increase when you have legalized prostitution.
Because if prostitution is legal, demand increases. And if it is legal, pimps and traffickers have more room to exploit and sell women under the guise of legal sex work.
In fact, in countries where it is legal, pimps and brothel owners are considered sex workers themselves.
Just because you legalize prostitution doesnât mean women are going to be anymore willing to do it, but more men expect to go to prostitutes, so the demand for prostitution increases. Where do you get prostitutes if women arenât willing to be them? you kidnap and traffick them!!Â
Thank you for explaining this so concisely. I always thought trafficking would decrease if prostitution was legalized, so this is good to know.
itâs worth pointing out that Germany, whoâs always touted as very progressive for legalizing prostitution and instituting prostitution unions, has become the human trafficking hub of Europe since those laws were implemented.
In 2009, there were around 900 victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands. In 2017, there were over 6000 and this number is estimated to fall prey to human trafficking every year. Over 4000 are sex slaves and over 1000 are children. This is getting progressively worse. I honestly cannot believe people arenât educated that this legalization adds to an increase in human trafficking. Isnât it obvious thatâs how the world works? Also, men donât care. I remember a post over here with men that were going to prostituted children and one of them was saying âI donât care to know how the sausage is madeâ. That should tell you everything you need to know if youâre still having doubts about which side of the barricade you should choose.Â
The notes on this post gave me 17 types of cancer. The fucking mental gymnastics people will pull to justify menâs right to pay to rape women is just staggering.
People in the notes keep saying âcorrelation does not mean causationâ as if that means correlation will never apply causation. But I think the causation between prostitution and trafficking is pretty clear soâŚI donât know why people want to live in a world so badly where women can be bought and sold
When Germany legalized prostitution just over a decade ago, politicians hoped that it would create better conditions and more autonomy for s
That article describes what I imagine hell to be like
Iâve also learned recently Germany can deny women unemployment/disability because they can technically still âworkâ in brothels and by selling their bodies. Not that it always happens, but they *can* deny it
