I think it’s a matter of enforcement than legislation. In Northern Ireland, prostitution is generally illegal but it’s basically enforced only when the police suspect human trafficking. So they can raid a brothel, then arrest them for prostitution, get them somewhere safe, find out they were trafficked and drop the charges and get them help.
That’s like legalising drug dealing in case your heroin dealer scams you.
No, it’s like legalizing drugs because addicts need medical treatment not nightstick beatings you wombat.
