If prostitution is so dangerous...switch jobs.

If you're willing to count black-market jobs like prostitution, then to be consistent, you have to include "drug dealer". As with prostitutes, the low-level guys who deal on street corners are just as likely to be forced or tricked into the job, and held their with threats of violence, debt, or addiction, as a trafficked prostitute. However, their exposure to violence is even higher.
