The link worked fine for me

What I got from reading the article was about forced sex slavery
not prostitution. I'm not sure what you were trying to get at.

Well, they were talking about prostitution in Amsterdam, and a vague link on
how that encourages sex slavery in "unendorsed" prostitution centers.

I'm conferencing with PicoSpan, so the link's unfollowable to me regardless.

There aren't many folks who think that garmet working should be outlawed.
But, at least in the US, that industry has *huge* problems with illegal
labor, horribly abused labor, semi- or fully-enslaved labor, etc., etc.

The US also has (perhaps somewhat less grim) problems in the farm labor,
meat packing, and other menial/marginal/isolated labor markets.  I'd say
that there are a lot of problem with prostitution that don't have much to
do with sex.
