CIUDAD JUÁREZ SITUATION
Ciudad Juárez (Chihuahua, Mexico) is a city with more than 2 million inhabitants, the fourth biggest city in Mexico. Marginalization, poverty, danger, drug and human traffic or violence against women, are some of the difficulties that the Juarenses have to face everyday.
In 1993 the United States, Canada and Mexico signed the North America Free Trade Agreement, which meant the beginning of female murders and disappearances. The profile of women is: young (from 11-22 years old in the 72% of the cases), attractive and assembly plants employees. Foreign companies installed in Ciudad Juárez their assembly plants (automobile, electronics and medicine products). The most part of the employees were women, because they generated less labor conflicts. They earn about 4$ a day and sexual harassment is present in their jobs by men with higher jobs.
