The problem is that anti-pimping laws have impeded prostitutes' ability to operate safely without pimps.

Most anti-pimping laws ban any kind of profiting from the proceeds of prostitution. So if a prostitute tries to arrange an apartment to work out of, or hire a legitimate bodyguard, the law sees those people as pimps. As a result, she ends up having to work with a criminal that offers protection and a workplace: IE a pimp.

I'm pretty sure that's a problem, but not THE problem.
