Legalizing prostitution could also improve the industry, by legitimizing it and making it less of a taboo. After all, a lot of the crime that plagues sex work is based on the fact that prostitutes are afraid to approach authorities; this makes abusers and rapists more likely to commit crimes, as they know that the women would never report them (for fear of being arrested themselves). Ideally, legalization would grant prostitutes protection from the government and police, and give them access to healthcare, medical testing and contraception.
Another argument for legal prostitution is that many interpret it as a feminist line of work. Plenty of women enjoy sex work; publications such as The Huffington Post have published articles written
