Lydia Cacho Ribeiro is a Mexican journalist, feminist, and human rights activist. She is a member of the Red Internacional de Periodistas con Visión de Género.
She was born to a mother of Portuguese and French origin who moved from France to Mexico during World War II and then married a mechanical engineer. Cacho herself met a foreigner and then settled in Cancún, Quintana Roo, in 1985. She began working for the cultural section of the newspaper Novedades de Cancún and a decade later wrote articles about the prostitution of Cuban and Argentine girls in the city. In 2003, Cacho wrote articles on the sexual abuse of minors for the newspaper Por Esto including a note on a girl abused by a local hotel owner.
Cacho then wrote the book Los Demonios del Edén (Demons of Eden) in which she accuses Jean Succar Kuri, of being involved in a ring of child pornography and prostitution, based on official statements from his alleged victims and even a video of him (filmed with hidden camera).
By May 2006, Cacho had taken the cause of the unsolved murders in Ciudad Juárez as a call to action against impunity of abuse of women in Mexico. What is an ongoing horror abroad, the chronic discovery of murdered women whose corpses are discovered in repeated patterns of abuse, rape, mutilation and are discarded as offal in pathetic scenes in the desert and urban surroundings of Ciudad Juárez. Young women from factories are said to be helpless in their need for public transportation. This is a common pattern for these women's deaths.
In 2007, She was arrested by Mario Marín, governor of the state of Puebla the United Nations Human Rights Council advised her to leave the country and offered her political asylum, legal assistance, and access to international courts.
