2. She is a victim of incest. (65% to 90%)
3. She is the most raped demographic on the planet. (80%)
4. She will die within 7 years after entering into prostitution.
5. She has a trafficker selling her as a commodity and keeping all or most of the money. (70%-90%)
6. She is or has been homeless. (72%)
7. At some point she has considered suicide. (75%)
8. She is 40 times more likely to die than the national average.
