The Special Rapporteur visited Mexico City, Puerto de Veracruz, Xalapa, Cancún, Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana from 10 to 21 November 1997 in order to study commercial sexual exploitation of children from four different angles, namely: in a large metropolis like Mexico City; in the industrialized port region of Puerto de Veracruz and Xalapa; in the coastal resort of Cancún; and in the border zones between Mexico and the United States of America, particularly those of Ciudad Juárez and Tijuana. In addition, the Special Rapporteur was interested to get to know any initiatives already undertaken in Mexico, both by Federal and State Governments and non-governmental organizations, to combat existing problems. |
