She's a friend of a friend on
                  Facebook.

                  She's 22 and has 5,000
                  friends on Facebook, and
                  more than 800 subscribers!

The truth is, I was intrigued. Betty's hard to know because there is
hardly any pictures of her. Her profile only says she lives in
Morelos, Mexico. Since it's public, I could see that she started using
Facebook a few months ago, and doesn't post much. But 5,000
friends? I sent a friend request too.

Luckily, she added me. Although not very active, when she posts to
 her wall she writes about politics (she has good criteria), her city,
                  her boss, work and other things.

Everyone likes her posts. She's a
lovely person, wishing everyone a
good day, sends hugs and kisses. The
truth is that she's such a sweetheart,
we watch out for her and give her
advice.. (Really, it's not a good idea to
say you're taking off early from work on

Betty is so popular among her
                                friends that the other day when she
                                asked who would follow her on
                                Twitter if she decided to open an
                                account, she got 72 “likes” and
                                more than 100 comments – in the
                                blink of an eye! Needless to say,
                                she's now on Twitter.

Something I like about Betty is that
                             she knows how to take care of
                             herself even though she seems so
                             trusting. When a guy posted this
                             awful comment, she told us that
                             she did not tolerate violence on her
                             wall and blocked him. We all
                             supported her and congratulated
                             her for having booted the bastard!

We started chatting via inbox, and I asked her, why do you have a public profile, that's why
you get jerks like that. She told me it's exactly because of that. She opened her account in
  March, but did not enjoy it so much and abandoned it for awhile. In August she was so
 surprised to see she had more than 1,000 friend requests. So she started to use it more.
  And now three months later she is getting 2,000 to 2,500 requests a month, mostly from
                                            Mexico.

Did you know that Mexico ranks fifth worldwide in the use of Facebook?




                She also told me that over 70% of contacts are men.




 They invite her out for coffee, to parties and even job offers. She says she
 never accepts because you never know who people really are on the
 internet.




                                                             Photo by Chris JL , Flickr,

The job offers are always to be
                          a model or hostess, most from
                          a neighboring town called
                          Cuautla.

                          She says she always wanted
                          to be a model .... And the job
                          offers are constant, even
                          insistent, there are even
                          promises of work abroad.

But, as I said, Betty knows how to take care of herself and all
     these invitations are weird. She thinks its all about trafficking
                               of women.

Baralt, Flickr,
Many of us do not know or don't understand what is happening. There are so
   many ways girls are tricked into trafficking. In Mexico, we have a law that
 sanctions human trafficking, but if girls go of their “own will”, it's inapplicable.
      And Facebook is an excellent mechanism to reach out to the girls




Experts here say a handler takes less than 4 days via Face to convince a girl to
  go voluntarily to meet up with him. Afterwards she's either sweet-talked or
                          kidnapped, but she's gone.

There are many ways to deceive - making friends and talking girls up until their
 trust is won. Other times it is the lure and urgent necessity of a job – and on
 Facebook girls are invited to be models, hostesses, assistants, nannies, etc.

Teresa Ulloa, director of the Coalition Against
Trafficking in Women and Girls in Latin
America and Caribbean (CATWLAC), says
that in Mexico 50% of children, men and
women victims of trafficking for sexual
exploitation were contacted and prepped
through the Internet, especially on networks
such as Facebook.




                                             "Traffickers and pimps don't have to
                                             bother to have personal contact with their
                                             victims in order to gain their trust, make
                                             them fall in love with them, and convince
                                             them to leave their homes – full of
                                             illusions about going to meet the love of
             Photo by Thomas Hawk, Flickr,
             Some rights reserved            their life.”                             13
In Mexico, the problem is even
                          more severe due to drug trafficking.
                          Apart from sexual and labor
                          exploitation, human trafficking
                          feeds the drug trade by providing
                          “hawks”, hitmen, and mules for
                          drug transport. Trafficking is said to
                          be Mexico's second biggest money
                          maker, right after the drug trade
                          itself.

                                                             14
So, that's why Betty leaves her
                           profile completely public. She's
                           trying to understand how all this is
                           facilitated by Facebook. She's
                           become an internet activist, and
                           works on the prevention of violence,
                           spreading the word among youth
                           and children – and to her friends on
                           Facebook – about how to be safe.


And she's part of Take Back the Tech!
