Por la periodista Lydia Cacho, autora del bestseller Los demonios del Edén.
Prólogo de Roberto Saviano A partir de casos concretos, asà como de historias conmovedoras, Lydia Cacho sigue una lÃnea de investigación para llegar a las mafias de tratantes de mujeres, que la conducen desde México hasta Kirguistán, pasando por Malasia, Japón y Myanmar, entre otras partes del mundo. Lydia Cacho lleva al lector de la mano por un viaje emocionante en el que encuentra la voz de las vÃctimas y al mismo tiempo expone a los servidores públicos dedicados a proteger a dichas mafias.
Lydia Cacho es un sÃmbolo del periodismo valiente. En este libro Lydia llega más allá de las fronteras de México. Ataviada con disfraces diversos, viaja desde los bajos fondos mexicanos de la Merced hasta los centros nocturnos y los prostÃbulos de Japón, pasando por muchos otros nudos de la inmensa telaraña de mafiosos, empresarios, policÃas, jueces y polÃticos que manejan el negocio en el mundo. Lydia escucha, para que sean escuchadas, las voces de las vÃctimas, las vidas rotas, y acusa a quienes ejercen la forma más abyecta del derecho de propiedad, hombres dueños de mujeres, adultos dueños de niños: esos supermachos que humillando a los más débiles manifiestan su despreciable poder. - Eduardo Galeano Lydia Cacho se mete en los vericuetos necesarios para mostrar el mapa de la esclavitud contemporánea, las rutas de este comercio criminal y cómo el fenómeno está entramado a través de un putrefacto involucramiento gubernamental, la complacencia y la indiferencia de amplias capas de la sociedad. - Carmen Aristegui
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A journey inside the world of trafficking women and children, told through emotional and heartwrenching stories, and a denunciation of the mafias as well as the governments and institutions that cover it up. Through these specific cases--these moving stories--the author follows a line of investigation to arrive at the human trafficking mafias, from Mexico to Kyrgyzstan, passing through Malaysia, Japan, Myanmar, and other parts of the world. Lydia Cacho leads the reader by the hand through an emotional journey in which we hear the voices of the victims, and at the same time she exposes the public servants dedicated to protecting these mafias. Slaves of Power is a global map of human trafficking.
