• What we do know is that poverty drives sex trafficking, and that sex trafficking as the delivery system for prostitution means that each day scores of young, poor women and girls will turn to sex trafficking and prostitution as a means to provide for themselves, and for their families, because they have no other choice. The hope is that funds earmarked for fighting poverty will eventually fight sex trafficking, too, putting an end to this exploitative practice by offering viable economic options for poverty-stricken women and girls in developing nations who want to work.
• Sex trafficking is big business, second only to drug and gun trafficking throughout the world. The U.S. government estimates that criminals are making $9.5 billion a year from sex trafficking
• Trafficking is inextricably linked to poverty.
• People often think that all child sex traffickers kidnap their victims, but in many cases the children end up funneled into the system by their own families because of extreme poverty
• Sometimes the children leave home voluntarily because of abuse or other harmful conditions.
• Furthermore, it's not uncommon for girls to know what they're entering into, and to enter voluntarily to some degree.

• The pregnant teen mother and the child born are likely to suffer health, social, emotional and economic problems. It is high time teenagers are educated on their sexual behaviour, feels Dr. Duru Shah, one of India's top gynaecologists and infertility experts.
• Child marriages are still prevalent today in India the results of which are girls becoming mothers in their teens.
• And this is quite common in teenagers, as most of them do not use any birth control measures like condoms when they have sexual intercourse. Our own study conducted on 400 college students of Mumbai showed that most of the sexually active girls start worrying about contraceptives only after 6 months of sexual activity.
• Responsible sexual behaviour prevents pregnancy. 
• A sexually active teenager who does not use contraception has a 90% chance of becoming pregnant within one year.
• * early dating behaviour
    * high-risk behaviours (smoking, alcohol and substance abuse)
    * lack of a support group or few friends
    * Unhealthy environment at home
    * stress and depression
    * delinquency / criminal behaviour
    * living in a community where early childbearing is common and viewed as the norm rather than as a cause for concern
    * exposure to domestic or sexual violence
    * and most important, financial constraints
• The financial, emotional, and medical needs of the infant may be too difficult for a teenage mother and/or her extended family to deal with. It is further complicated with society’s attitude towards teenage unwed mothers. They experience isolation, guilt accompanied by stress and depression, low self esteem resulting in lack of interest in studies, limited job prospects and lack of a support group or few friends to name just a few. 
• Similarly, infants born to such teenage mothers are at higher risk of complications of pre-maturity, low weight, accidental trauma and poisoning, minor acute infections, lack of immunization or vaccinations and developmental delays.
