Living in Asia I don't find it shocking at all. There are two types of sex workers, sex workers who do it by choice (most of them), and those who are tricked / forced into it. The latter is very sad, but this type of sex worker is exploited from government officials, to high ranking military officers, to high ranking police, to wealthy locals, and on down the line, as they all profit from it. Human slavery of any kind is horrible but there are millions of slaves (labor / sex) still today and no one cares about them. In some cases it is so deeply ingrained into their culture that it is just a simple part of life and they don't even see it as bad.
However, if you do find all of this shocking, do some research on where your clothes, furniture, and gadgets / electronics were made. A lot of it is made by slave labor or in places they treat the workers horribly, often putting them in unhealthy conditions.
