so I checked Wikipedia:

Although data is difficult to collect and analyze, Amnesty International reported in 2010 that as many as 60% of women and girls are sexually assaulted over the course of their journey.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_assault_of_migrants_from_Latin_America_to_the_United_States

I don't know if that statistic applies to these "caravans," but I can understand how vulnerable the women are. 60% is way too many.
