Peer Influence and Poverty Sample Clauses

Peer Influence and Poverty. Participants reported that among girls, the desire to have material goods has led most to indulge in sex in exchange for money and other material goods. The sex is ordinarily with older and experienced men because they have money. Often, the sex is unprotected and leads to unintended pregnancies. This was reported to be common among school girls who envy their peers for their fashionable clothes, food, or money. Therefore, due to peer pressure, the less privileged girls practice transactional sex to have materials enough for them to feel worthy or as belonging to a group of friends who have these fashionable items.

Unfortunately, the women have less bargaining power for condom use because the men possess the money that the women need. Often, the women are young, lacking experience using contraception. Sometimes, even elderly women who are experiencing financial strains resort to transactional sex. Additionally, some parents encourage girls to earn money through prostitution in order to support the family. Related to the issue of financial need is the issue of gambling. Participants reported that women addicted to gambling exchange sex for money if they lose bets. Some men were reported to take advantage of winning in order to demand unprotected sex from the women.
