Studies have shown that it actually increases human trafficking

This is true. Sweden is a good case study for this, as they made prostitution illegal in 1999, and they saw a decrease in human trafficking in the following years. This can be compared to Denmark and Germany, which have more permissive laws around prostitution, which didn't see similar declines.

This is absolutely not the same thing as “increasing” human trafficking.

Its a data point worth exploring, sure, but very, very different from OP’s comment.
