Stop criminalizing Prostitution, and give prostitutes rights!

Prostitution is a prevalent thing that happens in many countries. Rape, STDs and Poverty are at an all time high, and could be lessened by legalizing prostitution. If Prostitution was legalized rules and regulations would have to be implemented. This would include age restrictions, regulation on health check-ups, only indoor prostitution, and benefits and taxes for income made by the prostitutes. Not only would this benefit prostitutes, but this would benefit the Government through taxes, and the police so they could focus on more important cases.
