An investigative journalist and an activist, Lydia Cacho founded and directs a crisis center and shelter for victims of sex crimes and trafficking in Cancún, Mexico. Many of the women who seek shelter are often fleeing from violent criminals. Protecting them endangers Lydia Cacho’s own life on a daily basis. She has received numerous death threats, and in 1999, was raped in an attempt to intimidate her.Redeye CollectiveTue, 12 Aug 2008 07:57:32 +0000
