    Prostitution should be legalized everywhere. With regulation of course to ensure the protection of the workers and clients.

      I think that it’s more complicated than that.

      Okay, so there’s regulation. Who bears the cost of compliance? What happens when a sex worker is out of compliance with safety regulations, e.g., they are infected with HIV and aren’t informing clients or using barriers? How do you handle that?

      Keep in mind that a lot of people turn to sex work on an irregular basis, to pay for rent, drugs, or similar; very few of them are going to willingly go through any kind of licensing process, and most will lack the ability to pay for a license.

      rather than legalized i think the better word is “uncriminalized” with the sort of support that any workers have. Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights was a good read that helped me gain more understanding
