It's terrible how the girls have to learn how be able to please the men right, to get the money, even though they don't want to do any of it. One of the women's name is Monica and she is considered the favorite, which means she is getting the most money. She knows all the tricks with all the different men to get the most amount of money, and the most guys to sleep with. She is talking to Lakshmi offering to tell her the tricks. Lakshmi just stays quiet because she doesn't know what to think. She doesn't want to have sex with men much less learn how to please them. "'You think you are better than me?' she says. 'Too good to learn my tricks?' I am too afraid to even shake my head no" (59%) Lakshmi went from sitting in her room being almost poisoned and then raped to giving sex willingly realizing it would help her family even more.The women go from unwilling and stubborn to barely thinking about how terrible it is, and reading movie magazines.

According to SariBari, "Human trafficking in Nepal is a serious concern. Nepal is mainly a source country for men, women and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking.[1] The Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) compiled by the US State Department rates Nepal as Tier 2, the explanation of which is “the government does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so.” and "A young village girl, probably from a poor family, is lured, tricked or cajoled by a “trafficker” who promises a good job, a marriage or a better life in the city. The “trafficker” could be a woman who has previously been prostituted herself, a young man promising marriage or jobs, or a family member. The young girl is illiterate (or close to it), unsuspecting and has hopes for a better life for herself and/or her family, but she soon finds herself in a horrible nightmare of slavery from which she will likely never be able to escape.” Like you said, this just shows how you can be an innocent girl living in a village and these traffickers will turn you into someone you would have never dreampt you would have been.
