My family watches telenovelas all day and all night. Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso is one of their favorite novelas. One plotline involves drug lords trying to convince women to get breast implants, which will then be used to smuggle drugs. The show also touches on various forms of violence against women and sexual coercion. Women in my family love it because it shows how gender violence is carefully woven into the drug trade and how women easily become involved against their will.
