A Mother's War
from When Women Walked Hosted by History Queen | Madison Givens
In 2002, Susana Trimarco’s daughter, Marita Verón, disappeared in Argentina—kidnapped by a human trafficking network that preyed on young women. What followed was not just a mother’s search, but the beginning of a movement. Refusing to accept silence or corruption, Trimarco went undercover in brothels, confronted traffickers, and exposed a trafficking system that authorities had long ignored. In this episode of When Women Walked, we tell the story of a mother who turned grief into resistance. Susana Trimarco’s relentless fight helped uncover trafficking networks across Argentina and led to the creation of the María de los Ángeles Foundation, which has since rescued and supported hundreds of women. This is not only the story of one missing daughter. It is the story of a woman who refused to let the world look away—and who forced a nation to confront the violence hidden in plain sight.
