No nos dejes caer en tentación / Lead Us Not Into Temptation

In Mexico, 99.9% of sex offenses against minors are never reported. Every day, 7 women disappear, many more are trafficked, and femicide goes unpunished. How have we sunk to this level of dehumanization? How long will the country continue to normalize violence against women and children?

Saskia Niño de Rivera takes an unflinching look at the underworld of child sexual abuse to unmask its perpetrators, explain why so many incidents go unreported, and expose a thriving trade in women and girls. With the help of mental health and trauma experts, she explores the psyches of pederasts, pedophiles and other offenders, as well as the psychological scars borne by their victims.

Lead Us Not into Temptation challenges social and official indifference to the tragedy of women who are raped, kidnapped and sold. The author, herself a survivor of child sexual abuse, offers first-hand testimony of the second part of this hell: the terror, anguish and pain that linger long after the initial violation and take the form of nightmares, paranoia, panic attacks and fear of leaving the house.

Beyond the personal, Niño de Rivera stresses the need to understand the context of such crimes and the backgrounds of their perpetrators. Their stories, often chilling themselves, serve not only as an indictment of society but also as a call for empathy and compassion. In offering their accounts, the author's goal is to halt the cycle of violence, for the children of Mexico and the world deserve a better life.
