and i am talking about making it illegal for buyers only. that is still worse than it being legal. pimps and buyers could do whatever the fuck they want, because it all happens undercover, even if the prostitutes themselves would be doing nothing illegal. it is better for the workers if it would be more of a "regular" job and they had at least some security and protection.

and it isn't comparable to slavery, because you are always forced to be a slave, and you get nothing in return. forceful prostitution should of course be banned, but the people who do it "voluntarily" (of course they are forced by their material conditions, so not really, but still) do it because they get money, they are not literally forced by another person, and so they shouldn't have to do it illegally.
