- Many sex workers in Germany, especially migrants from Eastern Europe, are forced into the trade through poverty and deception.
- The German legal system makes it difficult to track down and prosecute human traffickers because sex work is legally considered a voluntary service.
- Support organizations like Amalie and ARAS provide crucial aid, safety, and healthcare to help women escape sex trafficking.
- Sweden's model of penalizing the clients of sex work rather than the workers has proven more effective at reducing the sex trade.
