What to do about Prostitution?
Poverty is the greatest cause of prostitution, at least involuntary prostitution, which is the real problem. Though problems like sexual abuse and drug addiction can do a major role in it. What's to be done?
The strategy I propose includes these points:
-Fight poverty, so no women is ever forced into prostitution.
-Regulate, liberalize--not prohibit--prostitution while cracking down severely on those engaged in rape and trafficking.
-Liberalize drugs.
"Prostitutes are the ones that should benefit most from the end of the ban on brothels. Until now, prostitution was part of the informal sector, closely attached to the underworld, where trafficking women, pimping, money laundering and dealing in drugs is the main business. Such an environment is not conducive to caring for the wellbeing of prostitutes." (source Radio Netherlands)

'For years, trafficking rings have thrived on the exploitation of women[9] from developing countries.[10] Recently countries of the former Soviet Union have become their latest targets.[11] Where old Soviet economic systems have been disrupted or discarded, there has been economic contraction and hyperinflation, which has wiped out people's savings and security. Many of these countries are still writing their laws and developing their constitutions.[12]
In Ukraine, where women account for more than 60% of those who have lost their jobs in recent years, trafficking in women[13] has become a goldmine.[14] Lured by false promises, misled by false information on migration regulations, many women fall prey to unscrupulous traffickers, allowing their dream for a better life to be exploited. The United Nations estimates that 4 million people are trafficked each year,[15] resulting in $7 billion in profits to criminal groups.[16] Many countries have weak, unenforced or no laws against trafficking in human beings, often making it less risky and more profitable to criminal groups than drug or arms trafficking.[17]'
