The greatest part that is "illegal" about the prostitution business is there. Not just that, but forced prostitution and etc. is part of it, although there are many who do it willingly, they still have to cope with low quality living conditions.
Yeah, all good ideas.
But making it legal in the first place would (in my opinion) at least increase the low quality of living you mention for the prostitutes. Ofcourse that will come by regulation.
And same goes for human trafficking. By regulating and ensuring that clients expect a certain 'standard' when using prostitutes' services, human trafficking will become a much less fancied alternative (excuse the pun), and these prostitutes may (I would presume they will) become less wanted for the customer (why risk doing something illegal when what you want is perfectly legal), thus meaning that human trafficking should be reduced for the simple fact that they won't be getting as much business.
