Cracking down on those exploited woman and police hauling them in and calling them the criminals does not help them survive or get out. The laws as they stand prevent the police from being a help to these women... and prevent the woman from having help. It's been around since the beginning of time and all societies that it is illegal in have the worst circumstances for them.
Just because it makes people 'uncomfortable' to have it as a legal trade... It's not a valid reason to not start doing something to make the lives of these woman better.

But I never said we shouldn't help them
, yes there is organisations that help them.
Well what about places where women are in Window shops advertising their " services" where people walk the streets, I suppose on the one hand it's in the public domain and the owner of the brothel has better chance of protecting the women.
But it's still not a safe environment. But I agree the prostitutes have more security than on a street corner jumping into God knows who's car
