Debt can significantly increase a person's vulnerability to coercion. When individuals face financial hardship, they may feel they have limited options to resolve their situation. This vulnerability can be exploited by others, leading to situations where a person may feel forced into a sexual relationship to resolve their debt.

Coercion involves using threats, intimidation, or other forms of pressure to gain compliance from another person. In cases of sexual coercion, this can involve unwanted sexual advances or actions.

Coercion and sexual exploitation are serious issues affecting individuals worldwide. A specific situation involves a housewife who may feel forced into a sexual relationship with her landlord due to debt.
