January 8, β Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal -- The failure of three judges in the province of Tucuman to convict 13 men and women accused of the kidnapping and forced prostitution of Marita Veron has caused national uproar here in Argentina. The case has been in the newspapers for weeks, highlighting the horrendous situation of thousands of women who have been kidnapped at a young age and forced to live the life of a sex slave, locked up, bashed and terrified into submission, in order to make millions for brothel owners.
Her daughter, 23 years of age, disappeared in when she went to keep a medical appointment in the city of Tucuman. She was seen being dragged into a red car. Three days later she was found by police in the town of La Ramada, 30 kilometres away, wearing red high heels instead of her sneakers.
She told police she had escaped from a sex party. They put her on a bus back to Tucuman, but she was never seen again. Marita had a three-year-old daughter, Micaela. Trimarco and her husband began a long search for their daughter, travelling to Uruguay, Chile and Paraguay. She had to investigate the case by herself, paying her own expenses, as well as confronting police agencies and the judiciary, who with false clues and legal tricks put obstacles in her path.
Trimarco even dressed as a prostitute to enter brothels to look for her daughter. Her husband died in without ever knowing what happened to Marita.
Maltreatment is defined as the "kidnapping, the movement and receiving persons with the aim of exploitation, using means such as fraud, violence, threats or whatever means of intimidation, or coercion, abuse of authority, causing a situation of vulnerability". As a result of this law, some pimps moved out of the brothels of Buenos Aires into the provinces. Login Signup. Signup Login Contact Admin. Velia 31 Lascano. Verified profile. Isolde 19 Uruguay.
