Not that it is particularly relevant but we legalised prostitution in New Zealand in 2003.
"The number of sex workers in Aotearoa New Zealand has not changed significantly since decriminalisation, and there is no evidence of trafficking; in fact, the legal recourse granted to sex workers in the country has improved their ability to combat exploitation, violence, and health risks without facing the threat of a soliciting offence."
Although, there's still problems around working conditions and other things that need addressing it has been seen by most as a positive change.
