She spent very little time explaining the fact that these younger women are put in this situation because they have 2, 3 or more children from Dominican boyfriends who don't use condoms or pay support.
This is difficult to understand for us in the states, but the lack of power and support that women receive in the DR, combined with that fact that it is a male-dominated society certainly explains why this still goes on in this day and age.
I suspect because of these factors dominican women can't just demand that their lovers use condoms because their requests would be disregarded.
