Abstract

An epidemic of sexual trafficking and exploitation of women and children has turned Mexico into the "Latin American Thailand". Incoming president Andrés Manuel López Obrador promises to tackle the corruption and impunity enabling these practices, but there is less recognition of their links to a neoliberal fantasy that was once presented as lifeline for poor communities, writes María Encarnación López (London Metropolitan University).
