A look at one of the legal brothels in Nevada- the women there are independent contractors. The brothel takes 50 percent of the earnings.

A big step forward in protecting women, even if states are unwilling to legalize the sex trade, would be at least not charging those who attempt to report rape or assault with solicitation. Certainly what most states are doing now isn't working.
i'm not sure if those abuses are due to the illegality of prostitution. i think in most cases, the women are being used and abused by their pimp-would those actions go away if prostitition was legal and regulated?
prostitutes are stigmatized, so authorities are of NO help. it's as tho they view the prostitutes as less than human, and deserving of anything that happens to them because they chose that lifestyle. but quite often, they didn't choose it. and then they can't get out. and it's hard to get help, because they are a social pariah, and have no support system.
