Communities embedded within the impoverished regions of their nations suffer the greatest risks and yet the greatest consequences of sexual exploitation. “Rapid economic industrialization in formerly underdeveloped countries and regions, coupled with historical structures at the societal level which support the demoralization and subordination of women, are the primary facilitators of the sex trade" (Bertone, 2000).
The community's response often re-victimizes the victims with consequences such being disowned by their families, and possibly ostracized by both their family and the community. If victims are allowed to return home, they often return to their homes and communities with severe psychological and health problems that their home communities cannot afford to treat. "In Asia, girls and women return to their rural villages addicted to alcohol an drugs after a fast paced urban life...without proper treatment facilities, the victims often spread the problem of abuse onto other community members. being raped or being a prostitute brings shame to the girls and their families, creating difficulty for girls who are returned from home from removed trafficking and forced to return to their home countries.”
