A global ban on prostitution would result in a lot more forced prostitution and sex slavery IMHO. The girls who work legally have protection, they have the option of working in good brothels where they make a good income, and most importantly they are doing this out of their free will. If this was banned in places where prostitution is legalized, there would still probably be around the same number of girls working in the sex business, but they would not have any of the benefits they have now. Men would have to go to shady places for sex, which has its own set of drawbacks. I bet there would be a lot more thefts or even worse.
Of course, on the other hand there are still many girls who work unwillingly, and they deserve all the help they can get. Being forced to become a prostitute and sell her body for barely any money from a young age must be one of the worst things that can happen to a girl. We should try to do something against this and not try to ban prostitution everywhere, in every form. I don't think that would solve anything. Unfortunately, I don't know how this could be possible, but I;m hoping someone smarter and more influential than me figures it out. Just my two cents.
