people were reluctant to talk about the young women

8

who had been murdered.

9
00:04:32.420 --> 00:04:35.370
It is impossible to know the exact number,

10
00:04:35.370 --> 00:04:37.330
but in the last decade,

11
00:04:37.330 --> 00:04:41.673
somewhere between two and 400 young woman have been killed.

12
00:04:45.290 --> 00:04:48.653
Only a few of these crimes have been solved.

13
00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:56.230
Why are the deaths of so many young women being ignored,

14
00:04:56.230 --> 00:04:58.773
and why are the murders still happening?

15
00:05:01.900 --> 00:05:04.090
Ciudad Juarez, Mexico

16
00:05:04.090 --> 00:05:08.100
is a city across the border from El Paso, Texas.

17
00:05:08.100 --> 00:05:10.950
To some North Americans, it is where

18

the world's largest consumer of illegal drugs.

29
00:06:15.190 --> 00:06:18.150
Once the Free Trade Agreement opened the door,

30

multinational companies flooded into Juarez

31
00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:23.863
to open assembly plants called maquiladoras.

32
00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:27.633
80% of them are American-owned.

33
00:06:30.810 --> 00:06:32.750
They are attracted by low wages

34
00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:35.643
and an abundance of workers in need of jobs.

35
00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:41.040
The maquiladoras along the border

36
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.923
generate around 16 billion dollars revenue per year.

37
00:06:51.060 --> 00:06:52.940

each day from Mexico's poorest regions,

39
00:06:56.050 --> 00:06:58.920
Juarez is a place to find work.

40
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.030
Here, they earn four to five dollars a day

41
00:07:02.030 --> 00:07:04.763

about the eight first bodies that were found here in Juarez,

54
00:08:40.710 --> 00:08:45.710
he said, "The problem is that they're prostitutes.

55

In Juarez, predators have no trouble finding their prey.

74
00:14:09.510 --> 00:14:12.900
The only facts about the victims I was sure of were

75

they were all poor, slim, they were dark,

76
00:14:16.430 --> 00:14:18.173

and nothing was being done to track down the killers.

80
00:14:43.680 --> 00:14:45.613
So fear began to take root.

All kinds of bizarre rumors and speculation were in the air.

82
00:15:01.830 --> 00:15:06.830

on the television.

107
00:17:10.290 --> 00:17:13.573

she was so afraid of the police

262

that she didn't reveal the whole story.

263
00:56:00.700 --> 00:56:02.360

The Egyptian, the Rebels gang, the bus drivers,

283
01:04:52.850 --> 01:04:57.693

and misinformation through the media?

308
01:11:19.740 --> 01:11:21.340
One thing is clear.

309
01:11:21.340 --> 01:11:23.293
It allows the murders to continue.

310
01:11:31.460 --> 01:11:34.390
It is the relatives who feel the loss every day

311
01:11:34.390 --> 01:11:36.483
who continue the fight for justice.

312
01:11:41.080 --> 01:11:45.210

They are part of the fortunes of a lot of people.

320
01:12:20.500 --> 01:12:22.960
Let's give them back one thing,

321
01:12:22.960 --> 01:12:25.510
security for those ones who are alive

322
01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:31.430
