What does "failed" mean, that not everyone avoids vices that are legalized?

The fact that it might annoy blue noses like you doesn't mean it has "failed."

Why do these mothers offer themselves up for hire ?

 

[Moonglow]

Women are prostitutes in Amsterdam cause they want to be. I see it nothing more than another vocation to draw pay to live. I honor them more-so than the cops and politicians we have here in the USA.

Wall Street Journal 2013-07-01:By NAFTALI BENDAVID AMSTERDAM — This city's famed red-light district looks much as it has for years, with bikini-clad women behind plate-glass windows fluffing their hair or beckoning to passersby, colorful beds visible in the background as an unspoken invitation. But things could soon change for the sex-for-hire industry following a recognition in the freewheeling Netherlands that its decision in 2000 to legalize brothels has failed to stem human trafficking.

Why do these mothers offer themselves up for hire ?

They find it to be easy money for little work. It's more convenient for them to do so instead of finding a wholesome job.

These women may not have had good parents, either.

The legal sex trade has served to fuel the illegal sex trade. Specifically human trafficking and sex slavery.

But things could soon change for the sex-for-hire industry following a recognition in the freewheeling Netherlands that its decision in 2000 to legalize brothels has failed to stem human trafficking.

Amsterdam's red-light district is a focus of controversy as lawmakers of different political stripes propose to rein in the city's sex industry.

"For something as simple as the lust for sex, we are tolerating modern-day slavery," said Myrthe Hilkens, a Labor Party legislator who supports a series of moves to tighten the rules on prostitution. "I think that cannot be."

"A huge concern is that a lot of criminal organizations send their prostitutes to the Netherlands," said Ard van der Steur, a legislator from the center-right Liberal Party, which rules in a coalition with the left-leaning Labor Party. "Leaving everything the way it is fuels a grave concern that we are not doing what we should to prevent human trafficking."

A similar debate is under way in Germany, which followed the Netherlands in liberalizing prostitution in 2002.

Germany, which also has a legal sex trade, is considering similar restrictions.

Only a fool believes that laws against prostitution will put an end to it. All such laws do is make it far more dangerous and demeaning for the women who engage in it.

Not always.

Sometimes it offers them a way out.

When you make it easy, when the law practically enables it, there's not much reason for them to stop.

It isnt a question of ending prostitution per se. That isn't the issue. You really ought to read the article before commenting, you know.

My point here is that pace the narcos, "victimless" crimes invariably end up having victims.
