TITTLE: Searching for Marita
NAME: choozhiying (4)
CLASS: 3G

summary:
This article is about a woman named Susana Trimarco finding her missing daughter. She had to disguise herself as a prostitute in order to increase the chances of her finding her daughter. On the way, she found many teenagers that are forced to become a prostitute. She also found out the cruelty of the human trafficking. She managed to save many of the young girls from their misery, she gave some of them shelter. Because of her determinations to find her daughter, it used up most of her savings and her husband had left her.

Reflections:
I think that her love for her daughter is so strong that made her so determined to find her. I believe the power of love that our parents had for us, will give us the strength to overcome any obstacle. Ms. Susana must have really love her daughter deeply that she is willing to spend all her savings on the journey of finding her daughter. I believe that if I am Ms. Susana, I would not be able to accept the fact that my daughter was kidnapped, and would also not have the courage to find her in the whole of human trafficking. This also shows that parents are willing to do anything to exchange for their children safety.

The girls that are forced to become prostitute are very pitiful. They were beaten up and forced to take drugs. I do not understand why people would want to kidnap young girls and force them to become prostitute. If I were captured, I would rather die than to become a prostitute. It is very lucky that Singapore has a government that protects the people, unlike the Argentina. The security in Singapore is much better as compared to Argentina.

It is also mentioned that pregnant girls undergo forced abortions with a coat hanger. I think it is very cruel of them to do that, I really could not imagine how they managed to use a hanger to carried out abortions. Imagine the pain the prostitute had to go through, and I believe, when the abortion is carried out, there are no pain killer for the pregnant girls to take. It is also very unfair for the prostitute as they were not given a choice to keep the foetus or to abort it. The pregnant girls must be suffering when they are being forced to go through abortions.

Ms. Susana effort of finding her daughter alerted the media. I am glad as the media are able to help her to find her daughter and to save other girls that are forced to become a prostitute. With the media help, those human traffickers would not be so daring as to capture girls on the streets. This would also warn the human trafficker about the consequences of kidnapping them and forced them to become a prostitute.

In conclusion, I think Ms. Susana is a very brave mother. She not only finding her daughter but also helping girls in the country that are forced to become prostitute. I respected her and her actions made me feel proud to be a female. Her actions not only help the prostitutes but also help the whole country of girls to prevent them from getting kidnapped.
