Yes, naturally, the "demand" was increasing in Germany because customers from neighboring states can now cross the border and quickly find a legal brothel that was opened just for them (examples in the documentary posted above). Germany made it legal to open a comfortable and posh location where nobody has to worry about anything whereas in France brothels and even "passive solicitation" are illegal. Naturally, French customers are now travelling the extra distance and patronize the German location, the "demand" in Germany increases whereas it decreases in France: I guess you consider this a "success " for the French?

I can see that if your choice as a trafficker is to send your victims either into a country where prostitution is legal or where it isn't, they'd obviously prefer the former. Trafficking is still illegal and mainly, if not exclusively, caused by the vast income differential between the countries concerned.

The likely negative consequences of legalized prostitution on a country’s inflows of human trafficking might be seen to support those who argue in favor of banning prostitution, thereby reducing the flows of trafficking (e.g., Outshoorn, 2005). However, such a line of argumentation overlooks potential benefits that the legalization of prostitution might have on those employed in the industry. Working conditions could be substantially improved for prostitutes – at least those legally employed – if prostitution is legalized. Prohibiting prostitution also raises tricky “freedom of choice” issues concerning both the potential suppliers and clients of prostitution services. A full evaluation of the costs and benefits, as well as of the broader merits of prohibiting prostitution, is beyond the scope of the present
article.
