Abstract

An exercise of access to information on the efficiency in combating trafficking in persons in Mexico, contains three sections: Methodology, Access to Information, Procurement and delivery of justice in human trafficking, and their respective conclusions. Trafficking known as slavery of the XXI century is the trade in human beings that takes different forms, including sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, organ removal, forced marriage, forced labor or services and illicit biomedical experimentation.

Observatorio Nacional Ciudadano presents this text with the aim of describing what happens in the chain of justice in the matter, statistical databases of official information were generated to measure, with the available information, the number of victims from 2010 to 2013 the state prosecutors have detected, the number of detainees and convicted of this crime, the victim profile, how and where the offense is committed. The results show that there is a 2% success rate in relation to the number of victims in contrast to that of convictions; entities and federation fail to meet the obligation to generate reliable statistical information and easily accessible. This highlights the lack of a strong public policy to combat this phenomenon, because there is no official diagnosis of the extent and severity of this problem in our country.
