Prostitution of minors in France has risen by up 43 percent over the last four years, according to official figures published Friday. The government insists it remains committed to cracking down on exploitation networks, a decade after a landmark law made paying for sexual services a crime.

    Maybe all the sex workers that say criminzalization isn’t the answer are on to something.

    Decriminalize & legalize adult sex work if you want to address child trafficking.

      Is there any evidence of that or is the thought that since decriminalization generally improves conditions it would also improve the situation around child trafficking?

      Cause I could see it making it more common as the barrier/risk is lowered. Doesn’t take much to make a fake ID.

      I could see an argument that it might follow a similar trajectory as underage pot use, but those aren’t exactly similar situations.
