520 _a"It turned out that 1212-1/2 West Front Street was one of what law-enforcement officials say are dozens of active stash houses and apartments in the New York metropolitan area--mirroring hundreds more in other major cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta and Chicago--where under-age girls and young women from dozens of countries are trafficked and held captive. Most of them--whether they started out in Eastern Europe or Latin America--are taken to the United States through Mexico." (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author examines how the U.S. has become a growing destination for victims of sex-trafficking, explaining that due to "the porousness of the U.S.-Mexican border and the criminal networks that traverse it, the towns and cities along that border have become the main staging area in an illicit and barbaric industry whose 'products' are women and girls."
