ResumenMost women smuggled for the sex trade across the southwestern US border come from Mexico and Central America. This research, based on a qualitative methodology that includes in-depth interviews with fifty-two smugglers of women and eighty-six owners of prostitution businesses in Mexico, aims to analyze the links between the different actors involved in smuggling women from Mexico and Central America for the sex trade in the United States. It concludes that the different actors involved in networks smuggling women for sex work occupy strategic positions within a chain of command that aims to provide US sex business owners a continuous supply of women. Smugglers recruit and transport women, while US sex business owners benefit from the exploitation of prostitution. In addition, this activity depends on the participation of Mexican owners of prostitution businesses, who recruit and harbor women in transit to the north.es_ES
