Municipalities such as Tultitlán, Coacalco and Ecatepec in the State of Mexico have been part of a human trafficking corridor for several years now, where the disappearance of women has become a constant; in this scenario, inhabitants of these localities narrate their experiences of insecurity and fear, their practices of self-care and show how danger shapes daily activities. The stories of these young women make visible the way in which violence shapes female subjectivities in contexts where dangers are inevitable and life cannot be interrupted because of them; the only alternative is to adapt. In the experience of these women, fear is not a distant and random possibility, but a latent and close risk, which they are able to fight every day, but who knows until when: they all relate situations of danger that by some chance did not come to fruition. Particularly, recreation is inscribed in a discourse on the impossibility of being safe anywhere, of prohibition and victim-blaming; nightlife, sporadic and limited, is characterized as "destrampe" or "immature and irresponsible behavior".
