It's a good question, and it's really not clear from the Australian survey if single private workers were included. I can tell you that a brother was defined as "a residence or other suitable legal premises where 2 or more women were undertaking sex work" - and from prostitutes I know who work privately from home but often share premises, this would include some of them.

why cant we come up wih a solution to this situation that deals with every facet and every different group of persons involved?

In a perfect world maybe there would be, it sure would be nice. At present the fact remains that legalising prostitution buys some safety for some women, and a great deal more illegal and degrading activity for others. I am simply not willing to sacrifice particularly women from the developing world who have precious few choices about any aspect of their life, for the sake of 'choice' for predominantly middle-class women in the first world.
