The journey is dangerous Even more so for women and children. If she survives the train… And starvation… The heat… The cold… The rivers… And wild animals, Only to be greeted Into the arms Of a sexual predator. Hunted And Harmed By the Coyotes The Sheriff’s The Border Agents She is torn apart From the inside. In search of refuge She found hell. Women and children who try to immigrate to the US often find themselves victims of horrid sexual abuse/trauma. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/us/immigrant-children-sexual-abuse.html?module=inline
