There is an obvious abuse of workers in Maquiladora Industrial Plants by foreign-owned companies, which built these industrial plants in Tijuana, Mexico, because of the cheap labor force. These companies mostly hire female workers who are easier to suppress in this patriarchal society. However, the problems that the workers encounter not only call into question women's rights or labor rights, but the larger umbrella of human rights. In maquiladoras, there is a violation of human rights as it is stated in article 23, article 24, article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. On this broader level, geography and nationality are not the focus, and thus, I, as a human being, am able to get in touch with the situation.
