But it should be legalised. Revenue raised by tax

There would be zero danger
of sexual assualt from johns.
Brothels would have twenty
four hour security. And money to be paid up front. All would
have regular health checks. Condoms would be a non negotiable
requirement. It would take all power away from pimps and restore the
self esteem of those who work in the profession. So no reason not to legalise
About the first bolded portion: I wonder where you got your statistics stating that many prostitutes are junkies. Not that I don't there are some out there, but there are also women who just enjoy sex and having the power over their own bodies.
About the second bolded portion: Just because sex is paid for upfront doesn't mean that there aren't some people out there that don't just like hurting women. Period. So saying that there would be zero danger is a bit fallacious.
I stated that many are junkies not all. And
fully accept that many women do choose that
profession. But there are just as many however
that do not. On your second point : it would be next
to impossible for a man to assault a prostitute in side a
brothel where there was twenty four hour security and video
cameras inside the room. And any man that tried would be facing
criminal charges because of the evidence provided by aforementioned
cameras. It would not necessarily reduce the desire of men to inflict pain
on women but at least those that attempted it would quickly realise their error
