Zona Norte ( North Zone ) is a red light district located in Tijuana, Mexico. It is known for prostitution and illicit drug sales. Due to its proximity to San Diego, California, it is frequented by US citizens as well as locals. The district is also known La Coahuila for the name of the primary avenue that runs through it.

Prostitution

Prostitution is permitted in Tijuana's North Zone, designated a Zona de tolerancia , or "tolerance zone". Legal prostitution within the city requires sex workers to obtain a permit and be subjected to monthly health checkups. Brothels in Tijuana must also conform to certain health regulations, such as standards of cleanliness, fixed operating hours and be placed a regulated distance from schools or day-care centers.

In addition to established brothels, there are prostitutes who work outside on the "callejones" or alleys and are referred to as paraditas , Spanish for "the standing girls", for the habit of standing on the streets to advertise their services. Paraditas have been regarded as part of Tijuana's cultural history, and attempts to force the women off the streets to curb such public advertising have proven unpopular and unsuccessful. These street workers are either illegal prostitutes who do not have permits, or legal prostitutes who simply prefer the relatively quiet environment of the street to the loud music and smoky atmosphere of the bars.

Child prostitution

Prostitution of children is a problem in Tijuana's Zona Norte, both in the form of voluntary acts as well as illegal child trafficking. Voluntary prostitution by children, often referred to as "survival sex" in order to obtain a warm meal or a place to sleep for the night is prevalent in the area. Often these children are smuggled across the border into San Diego and other nearby areas.

Child trafficking into Tijuana for the sex industry is also problematic. Children are often brought in from various parts of the country, often from the poorer southern states such as Tlaxcala and Oaxaca. Many of the young girls are employed in an unofficial and illegal manner in undocumented brothels disguised as massage parlors, bars and nightclubs. Such child prostitutes are generally between the ages of 14 and 17.

Michael Hemmingson's ethnographic study, Zona Norte: The Post-Structural Body of Erotic Dancers and Sex Workers in Tijuana, San Diego, and Los Angeles , found that many of these girls lie about their age, saying they are 19-22, and do not work the streets, but special brothels. The study suggests much of trafficking claims are exaggerated by organizations with political, moral, and religious agendas.

Young boys are also often recruited as prostitutes, sometimes as early as age 8. This forced prostitution tends to cater more to pedophiles from the United States.

Drugs

Illicit drug sales are prevalent in Zona Norte, and consequently there is a significant police presence there.
