Today, this phenomenon has become an integral part of the social and economic fabric in Mexico as in other part of world. This practice causes intolerable degradation and suffering for the girls and young women involved, who are treated as a commodity. This process result a risk to their physical and mental health and in particular to their sexual health due to immense violence, which I have tried explore in this research.
