Missing people posters are found across Tijuana, as thousands of migrants disappear each year. Some die on their journey across Mexico, drowned in rivers, or of dehydration in deserts, or in the many accidents on freight trains but many are killed by organised crime groups when they are kidnapped and ransom money isn't paid. Sex-related murder of women, known as femicides, is also common.
