Part 8/14:
As both a feminist and investigator, Cacho emphasizes the gendered nature of violence—highlighting how women and girls are disproportionately targeted in trafficking and femicide campaigns. She highlights the courage of feminist lawyers and activists who, despite threats and violence—including assassinations—continue to fight for victims and demand systemic change.
Her work advocates for recognizing human trafficking as a crime of systemic injustice that requires comprehensive legal frameworks, political will, and societal awareness. She advocates for stronger laws against child pornography, forced prostitution, and trafficking, as well as increased resources dedicated to investigation and victim protection.
