It reduces the risk of the slavery element, but there's still the question whether the prostitute have entered the trade voluntarily.

As long as "voluntarily" means without the threat of physical violence and physical coercion is discouraged by law then the situation seems like any other. Financial necessity? We let people become miners, boxers, and work in other physical taxing areas because of financial problems. I don't see the difference. The coercion is the issue.
