this lack of genuine choice can in turn make women and girls more vulnerable to trafficking than men particularly in certain circumstances and for women and girls of certain nationalities and ethnicities for example minority women and girls women and girls living in poverty or women and girls living in conflict or postconflict settings may face increased risks of being trafficked for example women may accept dangerous migration arrangements in order to escape the consequences of entrenched discrimination including family violence and lack of protection against such violence women may also be more vulnerable than men to coercion and force at the recruitment stage increasing their susceptibility to being trafficked in the first place
