- Sex tourism in Cartagena is delicate, people are abused and those who frequent these spaces do not realize the background of those children and women who are there.

- Some people who have dared to expose their cases do not receive enough support and that is why it is difficult to reduce human trafficking.

Low income people are the ones who are most targeted by captors since you come from low-income families, your family will not have the necessary money to ask for a ransom and when taking the case to the authorities they tend not to prioritize it because I catalog you with your social status.
From another point of view, some decide to enter prostitution since for her, not having studies is like the easiest way to get money to help at home and herself.
