Addressing any latent mental health* and drug and alcohol dependency** issues and support and training into productive work?
Unfortunately, this costs money -- it is a sunk cost with little prospect of a return on this investment in the medium, or even long-term -- and no-one is willing to pay. It's far easier to frame the discussion as one of personal choice and to look away.
Generally speaking, a liberal's default is to legitimise sex work and tax it, but commoditising women's' bodies and dignity isn't something that a civilised society should be endorsing.
Other opinions are available.
* No, not all prostitutes have mental health issues.
** No, not all prostitutes suffer from drug or alcohol addiction.
