I have the right to perform a sexual service in exchange for money.

156. fine, so you admit that the numbers are questionable

even though you didn't read what I said.

The rise of 10 percent in the estimates of trafficking victims in the year immediately following a law reform - if taken at face value, although that would be dishonest, as I have shown - represents 10 percent more individuals falling victim to the promise of a much better life in Germany.

Only a small proportion of those trafficked may eventually achieve their goal whereas the police will have to work hard to find those who are being extorted and held illegally by the trafficking agents (in some cases close relatives, BTW).

The actual number of victims found in 2011 was 640, according to the German federal police agency (BKA). The BKA has confirmed in 2013 that there is no significant rise in the numbers of victims which would indicate a causal relation to the reform.

The actual number in 1995 was 1,196, in 1996 1,473.

As you can see, these numbers depend on other variables than a relatively minor change in the law.

Das jährlich erstellte Lagebild des Bundeskriminalamtes weise „keinen signifikanten Anstieg der Opferzahlen im Bereich des Menschenhandels zum Zweck der sexuellen Ausbeutung aus, der auf eine mit dem Inkrafttreten des Prostitutionsgesetzes kausal verknüpfte Ausweitung des Phänomens hinweisen würde“.
