“They told me about having a job, but they didn’t tell me what the job was going to be. With the desire and need to work, I said yes. I was going to work, and I came without knowing that this job was. Once there, I had to do it, what else could you do when you are in economic trouble; there is nothing else to do but to work”(Consuelo. 20 years old woman from Honduras interviewed in Coahuila in March 2015).
“I did not want to do it, but they forced me. I was in the north far from my family and I didn’t know anyone, so I had to do it”(Daniela. 21 years old woman from Honduras interviewed in Tabasco in July 2015).
“Arriving to the north they asked me that if I had had sex, and I told them that I didn’t; then, it was when they put a price on me (…) When I arrived, they told me what I had to do. I didn’t know that I had to do it; but, once there, they told me that and I had to do it because I had to repay the expenses, they had incurred for me”(Fernanda. 23 years old woman from Guatemala interviewed in Mexico City in June 2018).
“They didn’t tell me that I had to work in prostitution. They told me that when I was in the north. When I was already there, they told me, and I had to do it”(Mariana. 25 years old woman from Honduras interviewed in Veracruz in December 2020).
