Lydia Cacho Describes Her Book

Duration: 08:57

“ I wanted to know exactly how many children, how many little girls were there being exploited in the brothels in Mexico City in a very very dangerous area in which no journalist dares to go in. The pimps are really dangerous and organized crime has complete control of the area and of course linked to the local police. So the only way I could go in was dressed as a nun, walking with the local nuns that would go there , you know giving them their blessings and some food to the prostitutes and helping people. So I dressed up as a nun, I walked there, I met pimps, and I saw the little girls. And I could make out one hundred sixty two little girls under eight years old being prostituted in Mexico City while we have a law against sex trafficking and of course a law against child exploitation. Outside the brothels there were always police patrols, always. I had my camera, my little camera underneath my little nun dress and I taped almost everything. And then I dressed up a a prostitute in order to dance in different clubs around the world…….”

Su vida ya nunca será igual. Ha caminado por la alfombra roja con el director ganador del Oscar y ella misma ha sido galardonada. Nada de eso parece tener importancia, porque Alfonso Cuarón logró crear un ambiente en que la historia se descubre en la medida en que se vive. Al escribir el guion, dirigir y editar el filme, el director mexicano estaba reconstruyendo las vidas de cientos de familias mexicanas de clase media, marcadas por la huella del silencio y el estruendoso efecto de la injusticia.

Slavery Inc: The Untold Story of International Sex Trafficking by Lydia Cacho, 2010

Illegal, inhuman, and impervious to recession, there is one trade that continues to thrive, just out of sight. The international sex trade criss-crosses the entire globe, a sinister network made up of criminal masterminds, local handlers, corrupt policemen, willfully blind politicians, eager consumers, and countless hapless women and children. In this ground-breaking work of investigative reporting, the celebrated journalist Lydia Cacho follows the trail of the traffickers and their victims from Mexico to Turkey, Thailand to Iraq, Georgia to the UK, to expose the trade's hidden links with the tourist industry, internet pornography, drugs and arms smuggling, the selling of body organs, money laundering, and even terrorism. This is an underground economy in which a sex slave can be bought for the price of a gun, but Cacho's powerful first-person interviews with mafiosi, pimps, prostitutes, and those who managed to escape from captivity makes it impossible to ignore the terrible human cost of this lucrative exchange. Shocking and sobering, Slavery Inc, is an exceptional book, both for the colossal scope of its enquiry, and for the tenacious bravery with which Cacho pursues the truth.

Infamy: How One Woman Brought an International Sex Trafficking Ring to Justice by Lydia Cacho, 2016

In 2005, after publishing her book The Demons of Eden—where she denounced the very powerful men behind the a Mexican child pornography ring—Lydia Cacho became a target. Exactly eight months after the publication of the book, one morning as she was making her way to work, Lydia was apprehended by the police from the neighboring state of Puebla, and taken into custody during a nightmarish 24 hours during which she was tortured, intimidated and abused. In this chilling memoir, comparable to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's Infidel, Lydia tells her story and exposes the horrific ways in which women—and young girls in particular—are abused then disposed of, while an oftentimes corrupt government simply sits and watches.
