CMV: If legalization of prostitution increases human trafficking, we should not legalize it.

I am not against prostitution in general.  If regulated with the likes of marijuana, I feel it can be a great contributor to the economy as well as provide protections for workers and give them opportunities to unionize, have legal methods for pay disputes, etc.

What would make me be against legalization would be if this increased human trafficking.  I can’t find it inside me to justify the economic gains if people are being bought and sold into modern slavery.

What will change my view is if you can show legalization of prostitution does not increase human trafficking or otherwise increase the number of workers in the field against their consent. I would prefer actual data.

Why do you think it *would?*

With legalization comes recourse for sex workers. When prostitution is illegal, sex workers can be abused by their "employers" and unable to report it to the police because they'll be arrested as well. Is prostitution is legal, a person who has been trafficked or otherwise taken advantage of can go to the police without fear that they will be put in prison or have their possessions/money taken from them.
