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.

Legal markets lead to black markets. Same thing with guns, the most illegal guns are in the same country with the most legal guns.

In Sweden, the same is true. Buying is illegal, selling is not. If you have to sell, you’ve got enough problems
