(Some) people in the Netherlands have also been pushing hard to get prostitution marginalized again, largely under the banner of human trafficking.

Do you know for example that most human trafficking number includes every prostitute that has paid someone for assistance with moving to the Netherlands? Like finding a house, opening a bank account and things like that?

Human trafficking is to prostitution what child porn is to online privacy.

At least some of the UN's figures on human trafficking are based on the amount of news reports about it - which, given all the activist groups with good press contacts using it to argue that prostitution should be banned, is not a terribly accurate measure.
