“What is clear is that the best anti-trafficking policy is universal, indivisible human rights. Human rights mean voice and choice. Victims of sexual exploitation need the same things as all migrants and all workers—recognition, monitoring, resources, access to justice, and organization" (Brysk, 2011).
Advocates of legalized prostitution strongly believe that legalizing sex work and introducing registered brothels is likely to drastically reduce rape, physical assault, and violence against sex workers by providing them a safe working environment. Other arguments include reducing the spread of HIV and aids, as well as other sexually transmitted diseases through the monitoring and enforcement of work safety rights and access to legal support systems for sex workers. So why not just legalize this type of labor? Despite the legalization of sex work in 77 countries of the world, through allowing prostitution and the legal operation of brothels, human trafficking is continuing at a dangerous rate, while the demand for younger victims (as young as 5yrs) and adolescent girls increasingly Thus, the toleration or legalization of prostitution would in turn increase the incidences of human trafficking, without curbing the challenges already faced. Those who endorse legalization of prostitution, however, believe that exploitation and abuse in the sex industry thrives due to the lack of the recognition of the legal and social rights of the workers (http://www.mapsofworld.com/). Furthermore, advocates in opposing positions both agree that best anti-trafficking policy is one of universal, invisible human rights, in which victims of sexual exploitation have the same needs in regard to support and resources that all migrant workers need and should be granted based on a universal human rights perspective; recognition, monitoring, resources, access to justice and organization (Brysk, 2011).
