Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Prostitution of minors in France has risen by up 43 percent over the last four years, according to official figures published Friday. The government insists it remains committed to cracking down on exploitation networks, a decade after a landmark law made paying for sexual services a crime.

Sex workers who work legally need to be eligible to work in the country they reside in and they are protected by workers laws.

That makes it even worse. If you stop engaging in prostitution, you get fired and your working visa is revoked. Also, you're assuming all victims of human trafficking are immigrants/don't have the right to work in the country. At least in the UK, unless if you're a student or a tourist, if you don't have a right to work there, you probably don't havw a right to be there either.

Also when sex work is illegal it's mostly done by organised crime and and the right amount of money and leverage employed at the right spots can get the police / the state to look the other way.

Maybe this applies to countries with corruption issues and lack of morals.

In most EU countries you'll have a decent amount of time (up to 3 months) to find a new job and get a new visa.

And what if you don't have the qualifications?
