Dark Side of a Global Community: Girl Trafficking in the Southeast of Mexico

Abstract

Each day, hundreds of girls and women become victims of girl trafficking. International organized crime groups recruit them in forms of sexual exploitation. The trafficking process begins with the demand for girls to be used in prostitution. Sex trafficking has become a significant problem in global communities like Tabasco, a state in the southeast of Mexico. The state of Tabasco is a source, destination and transit place for girl trafficking as commercial sexual exploitation. In this place, there is trafficking within the state and a large number trafficked come from a region known as the Northern Triangle. The method performed to approach these qualitative investigation entailed classical approaches involving newspaper sources, as well as direct, and Geographic analysis. Findings show that girl trafficking has been intensified in the poorest municipalities of Tabasco. It was also realized that girl trafficking as sexual exploitation is practiced within the Southeast of Mexico. Tabasco is exposed as a recruitment site for traffickers. Proactive and police measures are necessary for containing the phenomenon.
