Prostitution is both a sexual and an economic activity that can be organised in very different ways, and people from all walks of life can be found in the sex industry.
Suppressing prostitution completely could seem a viable way to ensure that nobody is forced into it, but this approach also impacts on those who choose to sell sexual services. There is also another consequence: anti-prostitution laws, in effect, interfere in private arrangements between consenting adults. Allowing politicians to establish what people can and cannot do with their own bodies is to some a major breach of personal freedom.
Freedom is a hot topic in the prostitution debate: the personal freedom of those who want to be in the industry; the freedom of the buyer to be able to get sex on demand; the lack of freedom of the trafficked and exploited and of those who don't have any other alternatives. All this makes prostitution extremely complicated to address in law.
Questions about criminalisation, decriminalisation, and regulation of prostitution are widely debated. Prostitution, however, is also affected by other areas of the law, for example welfare and immigration laws, which constrain the alternatives open to those who can't get other paid work.
Countries have found very different responses to the prostitution question, often causing a domino effect on the nations around them, such as sex tourism to places with a more permissive approach to the industry

Selling/buying sex has always happened and as long as our society doesn't completely change it always will. I think there's nothing wrong with prostitution as long as there is a solid legal framework in place; a framework that can protect both the provider and buyer of said services.
Like with most things, banning it or making it illegal doesn't make the thing go away, it just pushes it into the underground, where people will be trafficked and abused.
In my opinion prostitution should be legalised and recognised as a profession. The state can gain through taxation, the workers gain by having their rights as workers upheld(sickpay, pension etc ) .
