It's very common but also very disingenuous to conflate sex work with human trafficking. While the connection certainly exists, it's basically caused by the prohibition of sex work, rather than by sex work itself. By pushing it underground, you attract criminal elements, which is where the association of sex work with crime comes from. Fighting human trafficking is a very thorny problem but criminalising the victims never helps.
