Female gang members are often vulnerable and victimized, with high rates of drug addiction and history of physical and sexual abuse. While they may hold important roles within the gang, they typically operate under the authority of male gang members. Moreover, their numbers as a percentage of overall gang membership have remained relatively stable over time, at around 10-15%, rather than approaching 40%.
