I say balderdash! Prostitution has existed throughout history for one basic reason - there is a demand for it. Many women don't seem to understand that men are simply wired differently. Because of our different ancestral roles, we require sex more often and prefer to have it with a greater variety of partners. Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of finding satisfaction in a loving monogamous relationship, but nevertheless, the temptation will always be there.
Moreover, no one is forcing these girls to do anything against their will. In many situations they can actually be selective about who they choose to service as well. Anyway, better a society that takes a realistic approach to a basic human need and doesn't stigmatize it, than the sexually repressed puritanical world we have to deal with here.
Tell people to look at very advanced cultures like in Holland where prostitution is legal and accepted by the government as a form of employment. Are we calling one of the most succesful economies in Europe backwards??? Those girls are sometimes highly educated and ofcourse beautiful. Sure they could get a job in a restuarant or a bank. But why??? they are making probably 5x as much. And, ofcourse there is LOTs of demand.
