Teresa Ulloa Ziáurriz, Rights Advocate Who Fought Sex Traffickers, Dies at 75
In Mexico, where the cult of machismo has long held sway, she waged a lonely, sometimes dangerous, and often single-handed fight against prostitution and organized sex rings.
Her battle was not only against the criminal networks involved but also against deeply ingrained societal attitudes that allowed such exploitation to persist. Despite the challenges, she remained steadfast in her commitment to protect vulnerable women and bring perpetrators to justice.
Her courage and determination have inspired many, shedding light on an issue often ignored in her community. Through her efforts, awareness has grown, and strides have been made toward combating this pervasive problem.
