Just thought you ought know..


As the number of Central American women and girls crossing into the U.S. continues to spike, so is the staggering amount of sexual violence waged against these migrants who are in search of a better life.

According to a stunning Fusion investigation, 80 percent of women and girls crossing into the U.S. by way of Mexico are raped during their journey. That’s up from a previous estimate of 60 percent, according to an Amnesty International report.

Yeah I heard about this a couple of months ago. On your country's national radio service, Lumps.

Just to clarify, they're not saying they're raped at our border ("crossing into the US") -- they're saying before that point, on the journey. Such as crossing from Guatemala into Mexico.

I agree with your clarification.. it's sometimes tough to come up with a title that's not way to long and relay the essence at the same time...Thanks

don't go unarmed, certainly not on such a journey, and certainly not if you are handicapped by size, strength, health concerns, entangled by little kids, etc.
