So if I coerce someone into cleaning my house without their consent that isn't shameful? Seems coercing someone to do anything without their consent is shameful.

If someone only consents to cleaning a house if they're paid enough money to do it that isn't "without their consent" by any definition of the word I'm aware of. It's unclear to me why sex workers should be specially called out and stigmatized.

The sex workers should not be called out nor stigmatized. Their patrons should be.

Based on what you've said so should the patrons of any service if the worker is providing a service they wouldn't otherwise be providing if they weren't being paid to do so.

No, because it's not a human rights violation to pay someone to clean a toilet. It is a human rights violation to pay someone for sex.

You also don't know what human rights are.
