Recruiters give them money as a form of “down payment” or cash advances that immediately address the needs of women and children and their family. Even if transactions are to their disadvantage, possible recruits are still enticed easily just because they need the money. Women try to free themselves from being trafficked by fleeing. Without their knowledge and even with resistance, women and children are trapped into prostitution once they start. As seen from the data, from being trafficked, women and children eventually transition to prostitution. At a young age, their bodies are the only means and the only tool that they can use to support their own and their family’s needs. Women do not report cases of trafficking due to fear. They fear that their family members may know their situation. Trafficking largely remains unreported. Moreover, they cannot report it as it is their source of income. They only report to the police cases of violence they experienced from their customers as these involve their immediate safety, security, and physical wellbeing. If they are harmed, they can no longer work. These cases also involves women versus the customers. Whereas, reporting cases of trafficking threatens their source of income that enable them and their family members to live. Women and children in prostitution experience multiple precarities such as pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, drug abuse, and physical violence committed by their intimate partners and violence. These are the harsh realities they have to face as they try to survive. Many of the respondents, especially young women, wanted to finish their education and receive their diplomas. Those who consider themselves as “second” or “third generation” trafficked and prostituted women want the cycle to end with them. They are hoping that one day they can work and earn money without endangering themselves, a kind of work that they dream that contribute to their individual well-being and the development of their communities. 19
