May issue of RD: searching for Marita

In this issue, i can feel Susana Trimarco's love for her daugher, Marita, which is truly imcomparable and it also shows how grandeur she is, to be willing to sacrifice herself just to find her missing daughter too.

When Susana heard any news about Marita,she would try all her means to find her daughter, and being prepared to lose her life in the search of finding her. She learned that Marita had been kidnapped and forced to work as a prostitute, risking her life, she decided to disguise herself as a prostitute and venture into seedy bars, asking girls if they had seen Marita or heard anything about her. Unfortunately, she did not manage to find her.

Soon, she had quit her job, continued to find Marita through disguising as a prositute. Not only that, she engage conversation with the girls if they knew anything about Marita's whereabouts, showed her photos to the prostitutes on the street and used up most of her savings and sold her house just to pay for the investigation of Marita.Her obsession of her daughter made her separated from her husband, Daniel. No matter how many obstacles and difficulties she faced, still
she did not give up. She even helped to take care of these girls that were being rescued from the prostitution house hoping that Matira can return home one day like these girls.

Her efforts forced the media to take action about the long-ignored issue of sex trafficking and the official corruption that facilitated it.More mothers are stepping out to demand for more government action in finding girls who are being forced into prostitution.
Thanks to her, the polices took their action fast and the 20-year-old Jessica Cativa was released after being kidnapped for two days.
She helped countless of girls to be free from tortures and abuses.
Furthermore, Susana has travelled all around the country enacting a law that would make human trafficking a federal crime. In addition, she also pressures government officials to establish a federal office to help the victims.Till today, she is still unwilling to give up looking for her daughter.


Susana is a woman who is willing to do anything to find back her daughter, Marita.The sacrifices that she had done were countless.
I believe that not every mother can be as grandeur as Susana and would dare to try what she had done.She is a really brave, strong and bold woman which rarely exists in this world and i truly admire her a lot. She is a different woman that i have seen so far in my entire life. Most women are weak and fragile. Being a woman, it is not easy to be as brave and bold as Susana was.Probably if i were her, i would have given up at the start when the police could not find my daughter and just weep in tears everyday in my room.

She is caring to other girls that were being rescued from the prostitution house too and shower them with her love and concern. Trying out all her best and efforts to help them and take good care of themNot only this, she is also a respectable woman too, instead of finding help from the police, the mothers from around Argentina whose daughters had been kidnapped were calling her.

I feel that the polices are really useless and brought disgrace to the country as they did not help to serve the country well and bring laws and justices. It's their jobs to bring criminals to be dealt with according to the law. They did not do so and, instead they were corrupted and did not
really did their best to help those who needed. I feel that the government should really enforce and enhance more on the laws and deal with the polices which have not done their jobs well and the sex-traffickers that had corrupted them seriously
so as to make the people be aware of the seriousness of forced prostitution and human trafficking and to increase on the efficiency of the polices too.

As for Susana,she did whatever she could to help them, which showed her kindness and her helpfulness for others.Her efforts were appreciated by lots of people.She received an International Women of Courage Award which i think that that was what she really deserved. Putting herself in great danger while saving many people and shedding a lot of light on how big the problem of human trafficking is in Argentina have been what she had done.

As a mother, she knows how it feels for other mothers to lose their daughters so she had set a new mission to help to find all the girls who have disappeared in this country and to help and protect those who have been freed. It is touching to learn her new mission. She had made all the woman in the world proud, including me. This shows how a woman can be independent to a great extent too.

I feel that it is good for us to learn the good points from this noble character. Her never dying spirit is one of which will be the best for us to apply such spirit in our studies. Her willingness to sacrifice herself to save other people is also another one that we should learn from her too.
