Amsterdam would be nothing special if it wasnt for the underage illegal whores brought here by human traffickers, promising them jobs as nannies.

i was just reading an article about human trafficking in the New York Review of Books and it claimed that Amsterdam was one of the few places where prostitutes aren't coerced by traffickers and exploited. do you have any info about this/links that claim otherwise?

There have been several reports here in the Netherlands (from f.ex. the Amsterdam University) that about 80% of the prostitutes in Amsterdam are being forced, most of them are foreigner.
It's common knowledge in the Netherlands.

Human trafficking
The Netherlands is a primary country of destination for victims of human trafficking. Many of these are led to believe by organized criminals that they are being offered work in hotels or restaurants or in child care and are forced into prostitution with the threat or actual use of violence. Estimates of the number of victims vary from 1000 to 7000 on a yearly basis.[8] The victims mainly originate from the Netherlands, Africa and Eastern Europe, particularly from the Balkans and the former Soviet Union. Most police investigations on human trafficking concern legal sex businesses. All sectors of prostitution are well represented in these investigations, but particularly the window brothels are overrepresented
