The key to treatment for Women and Children is to educate them about the consequences of trafficking and the use of drugs. Usually, women are not aware that they are trafficking drugs for the men in their lives because they are doing it out of love for their men.

The Women’s Institute of Jalisco, Mexico:

* “Stop! Love can cost you dearly." In Jalisco, Mexico these words were plastered on posters at bus stations, in the airport and outside of women's prisons as part of a campaign to caution women against dating drug traffickers.
* The Women's Institute of Jalisco wants to target female inmates to help them avoid being used or cheated by male criminals. The Women's Institute of Jalisco stated: "Most of the women jailed for drug possession, sale, or transport were aiding the men in their lives-helping a partner or protecting a son or father. That is why the institute based its campaign around love."
* Women's participation in drug trafficking is tied to the sentimental feelings they have for the men in their lives.
* The Women's Institute of Jalisco wants to educate the women in Mexico who have been arrested with possession and trafficking about making better decisions.
* Many Mexican women do not understand what trafficking consists of. For example, many Mexican women take drugs to partners in prison counts as trafficking or possession.
* The Women's Institute of Jalisco has addressed this issue by stating on their "Stop! Love can cost you dearly" poster "Drug possession carries a sentence of 5 to 15 years. Trafficking can lock someone up for 10 to 25 years."
