The Netherlands is a primary country of destination for victims of human trafficking. The UNODC (UN Office on Drugs and Crime) produced a report which showed that Netherlands is one of the top destinations for victims of human trafficking; countries that are major sources of trafficked persons include Thailand, China, Nigeria, Albania, Bulgaria, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine.[31]

Currently, human trafficking in the Netherlands is on the rise, according to figures obtained from the National Centre against Human Trafficking. The report shows a substantial increase in the number of victims from Hungary and China. There were 809 registered victims of human trafficking in 2008, 763 were women and at least 60 percent of them were forced to work in the sex industry. All victims from Hungary were female and were forced into prostitution. [32] [33]

Within the Netherlands, victims are often trafficked by so called "lover boys" men who seduce young women and girls and coerce them into prostitution. Women and girls are trafficked to the Netherlands from Nigeria, Bulgaria, China, Sierra Leone, and Romania, as well as other countries in Eastern Europe. [34]

Prostitution is much more common in the Netherlands, than in other places of the world. In 2003 it was estimated that in Amsterdam, one woman in 35 was working as prostitute, compared to one in 300 in London.[35]

In recent years, a significant number of brothels and prostitution "windows" have been closed because of supected criminal activity. In 2009 the The Dutch justice ministry announced plans to close 320 prostitution "windows" from Amsterdam.[36] According to the mayor of Amsterdam, Job Cohen: "It is not that we want to get rid of our red-light district. We want to reduce it. Things have become unbalanced and if we do not act we will never regain control."[37]

The current situation from Netherlands has led many people to believe that prostitution can not be controlled, that it will always be in the hands of the criminals, and that the only way to prevent crime and abuse is to try to supress the sex trade through prohibition.

Aside from the practical issues surrounding the prostitution laws, prostitution is a very morally charged subject.
