We can decriminalize being a sex worker without decriminalizing johns, pumping, or brothels. Rather like some places have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of drugs, but not the sale.
That makes it safer for women and girls who are being exploited to report the people exploiting them and to escape to a healthier life, while still making it straightforward to punish people who exploit, traffic, and abuse them.
