I know a lot of sex workers and the "abusive pimps" narrative doesn't ring true to me. They're doing it coz it beats driving Uber.
I just view it the same way as any type of injurious manual labor. They are workers who are in part selling their bodily well-being for money, so the goals should be harm reduction, alternative employment, and demand reduction. I'm not sure if it is possible to eliminate completely at this stage of development, but carceral policies should not be used. Also, there are plenty of trafficked sex workers who aren't doing it consensually.
