| Mothers embark on journey searching for children who disappeared while travelling to US.
Mexico’s government says 150,000 migrants pass through the country every year hoping to reach the United States. Human rights groups put the number close to 400,000.
Most of the immigrants come from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
In Mexico, they face several dangers, including sexual assaults,
kidnappings and extortions.
More than 11,000 migrants were kidnapped in Mexico in 2010, mostly in
the border state of Chiapas in the south and its northwestern neighbour
Veracruz.
