No, not really.

It is an economic issue. It is a capitalism issue. Universal minimum income and/or 100% employment at living wages would greatly decrease the occurrence imho. Divert war on drugs money to war on human trafficking. Decriminalize the selling side of it could help too (per Redqueen's post). If women would be able to go to the police without fear of imprisonment they could give info on potential trafficking victims without fear of them or the other girl (if not trafficked) going to jail.
