Women and children are facing abuse all over the world, astonishingly, in countries where rights against abuse are more pronounced than in any other country. We are going to take the case of the abuse of immigrant women and children, mainly those who struggle to get into the United States of America through the Mexican border.

             It's only in the 21st century that we have to come to notice the rapid increase of women and children immigrants moving out for job opportunities. .

             Men, usually get work as laborers in industries of some kind while the women or children have to do odd and low jobs just to make ends meet and earn enough money to send or take back to their family. They usually find work as hired help in places like Grande valley, El Paso, San Diego, and Beverly Hills. (Jane Juffer, 1988).

             Furthermore, women face daily harassment by the hands of border patrol officials and even coyotes, those that have connections to get illegal entrance of immigrants into the country. These authoritarians don't only harass these underprivileged women and children physically but they horde and steal whatever amount of money they have on them. (Jane Juffer, 1988) .

             In addition, these people use their authoritative power "to teach a lesson" to those that dare to revolt or say anything against them by doing a little more than harassing or stealing, they lock them up for days without any real reason for arrest in conditions of utter filth and "Complete squalor, squeezed among 600 people in a jail built to hold 250." (Jane Juffer, 1988) .

             These abused victim, nine out of ten times, do not report their charges due to their illegal immigrant status, they fear deportation and unemployment in the face of their responsibility of providing "bread and butter" for their families. They stay silenced so that they are not forced to leave their provisional zone, and the abusers aware of this fact feel that these immigrants are more accessible for assault.
