I’m against the idea that voluntary prostitution should be legalized because of a simple reason: it is very difficult to distinguish whether a person is voluntary prostitute or not. Furthermore, it is also possible that one change what they say about their will in a moment. Hence, even involuntary prostitution could be justified by law.
Some may say that they can write a contract to ensure the prostitutes’ willingness, but there are almost countless ways to avoid that. In other words, this statement is same as saying “You can force someone to be a prostitute as long as you have a contract.” For example, one can just threaten a girl to write a contract, or a girl might not know what it means to be a prostitute. There is no means to accurately check one’s willingness.
Therefore, I think legalizing “voluntary” prostitution might just justify or even promote forced and involuntary prostitution. From the perspective of humanity, outlawing prostitution should be the only way to defend people’s (often girls’) human rights.

I understood your opinion about legalizing prostitution. However, I felt like prostitution will exist everywhere illegally even though the country prohibits prostitution. Actually, this is the current situation in the world. Therefore, I do not know how much the law is really powerful. Also, I felt like the law cannot protect all involuntary prostitutes. After thinking about this, how do you defend your opinion?

I think that the point you raised in the first paragraph, the difficulty of distinguishing voluntary prostitution from involuntary one, is keen. It is hard to truly understand someone’s mind and, in addition to that, it might happen that uneducated individuals can misunderstand the “contract” as you say.

I agree with the idea that we can’t clearly distinguish voluntary and forced prostitution. Even in “voluntary” prostitution, women working there might not feel comfortable but might not complain about the job because their situations are unhelpful.
