“Among the thousands of women who will illegally cross into the United States this year from Mexico, some will be raped by the same men who demanded $1,500 to $2,000 for safe passage — their underpants often hung on a border fence as a trophy.
“I thought the wailings we heard at night were the coyotes barking at the moon,” said Tim Donnelly, who headed the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps border vigil here. “I didn’t know until later that those sounds were the cries of women being raped in the Mexican desert, some less than a hundred yards away from the border. “

Prevent Rape Trees
This blog has been created to raise awareness on the violence against women and children who come to America to seek a better life but end up getting raped and promised a false future in the US. These women go to men called coyotes in search of a better life and a way to flea Mexico. Once they cross the border, these women are brutally raped and have their underwear hung on trees to show the coyotes power and to create fear amongst the illegal immigrants. These trees are known as rape trees and are spreading further onto American soil. We have created this blog to illuminate these horrific acts of wrongdoing.
