It is no longer news that drug trafficking cartels have taken over the buying and selling of women and children into prostitution. This is a very dangerous trend and if not properly tackled could spell doom for the fight against human trafficking.
The story is the same every where, from Europe to Asia, North and South America and even Africa. Drug cartels are now very involved in human trafficking because of the low jail term involved. In Mexico for example, drug cartels are said to be involved in smuggling women and children into the United States for forced prostitution. It is claimed that this women are kidnapped or in some cases, migrant girls who in their bid to enter the United Sates end up being imprisoned by Mexican drug cartels who then use them as sex slaves.
