Summary: This article provides an overview of trafficking in people in Mexico for sexual exploitation from a perspective combining gender and human rights. The first section addresses the first international instruments regarding white slavery (which certainly had racial content) and trafficking in older women, which later was defined as exploiting the prostitution of others. The 1949 Convention and the Palermo Protocol were analysed, emphasising the consent of the people involved in prostitution and how each instrument addressed them differently. The second section examines the trafficking of women for sexual exploitation in Mexico: the context of social inequality, the mechanisms for capturing victims, their transfer and exploitation. A third section deals with the Colombian law for preventing and punishing the trafficking in people, which came into force in November 2007. Some conclusions are made regarding advances made in the legal field and tasks which are still pending.
