00:00Well, Margarita Meira is a mother of trafficking victims and is precisely a person who participated in the rescue of this woman.
00:08Margarita, how are you? Good afternoon.
00:11Good afternoon. Look, I'm coming back from a trial in Mercedes. We're in the car, so, well, tell me.
00:21How do you get the information about this situation that was happening in Congress?
00:27Look, a woman finds out that one of the tenants there is moving because of fear, because of the things she saw.
00:42And then she said, this can't be, and I file a report, and I file a report.
00:48So it's because of a neighbor who heard something, didn't like it, and said, I'm leaving.
00:53And she told you what she saw, and that's where you get the information.
00:56Of course. No, this woman filed a report in 145.
01:01How important.
01:03In La Protex, but it seems that the complaints were dropped, nothing happened.
01:09She got angry and said, please, rescue the girl, rescue the girl.
01:16So 145 told her that, well, if you're interested, go to Cujado 6 in Comodoro Pi.
01:25Incredible what you're saying.
01:27Let's see, a woman, a citizen.
01:29It's normal for someone to say, I'm not going to get into this mess because I can't.
01:34That citizen commits, files the complaint, does nothing, gets angry, insists, and they tell her,
01:41well, if you don't care, get out of here.
01:43Of course, so there, a person, I don't know who it was, a friend of hers, told her,
01:49no, this is for mother, go to mother, because it's the only place where she's going to give you a hand.
01:55And well, she called us, she contacted us through the networks, and we acted immediately.
02:01And well, there, the complaint was made, everything was done.
02:06Do you hear them?
02:08And five days had passed and they hadn't rescued her, so we stopped at the door.
02:15We said no, because we found out that she was leaving the hotel.
02:23Of course, that's quick action.
02:25The data is leaked, you have to act now.
02:27Yes, we stayed at the door, and well, when she left, in a minute,
02:35we got up, I offered her help, she doesn't speak Spanish, very little,
02:40and well, we convinced her, and we got her in a car, and we left.
02:45Margarita, this woman came to explain to you something about what she was experiencing.
02:50Was there any kind of exchange between you?
02:52I understand the difficulty of the language, but what could you perceive about how she was,
02:57and what she was suffering?
02:59She speaks English, luckily.
03:02She speaks Russian and English, and the one who accompanied me spoke English,
03:06so we were able to understand each other.
03:10But I can't give you any more information about the whole judicial part,
03:19because that's handled by the legal team.
03:22I can tell you as far as I can rescue her, and I give her to the legal team,
03:27and that's where the legal team is.
03:30Look, and Javier Díaz, I greet you, because while we were talking to you,
03:34we were seeing images of the city police, I reiterate,
03:37the Division of Crimes Against Vulnerable Groups and Human Trafficking,
03:40which went to rescue her from the place.
03:43When you saw her, how did you see her in terms of her face,
03:48her psychological state, and so on?
03:51Because she was very oppressed by this man.
03:55Destroyed, destroyed, with blows all over her body, on her face,
04:00an eye with a spill, no, no, not bad.
04:04She, when I grabbed her arm, because I know she was asking for help,
04:09so I grabbed her arm and said, I help you.
04:13And well, that's all I could tell her, and then she started crying.
04:17Of course, there she loosened up because she was not alone.
04:21But she was very afraid, very afraid.
04:25And yes, she was alone in this country, she does not speak the language,
04:28look at how many ways this man had to really enslave her.
04:32Was she alone or were there other women?
04:36No, she was alone.
04:38She was in Europe for two years,
04:40she took him to Kazakhstan and I don't know what other countries,
04:44and then she brought him to Argentina two years ago.
04:47Did you see all the elements that the police seized in the place?
04:53A katana, sex toys, knives and so on?
04:59No, not yet.
05:01Look, I'm coming back from another trial, we have another trial.
05:05I'm coming back and I still couldn't meet with the lawyer
05:09to ask him in detail, because the truth is that no.
05:12If I tell you I'm afraid, I do my job, which is to rescue her,
05:16to get her to the legal team.
05:18Margarita, the last one and we thank you.
05:21How many women work like you and risk their lives for these cases?
05:26How many are you?
05:28In the association we are few,
05:32because few people want to collaborate with MADRE to do this job.
05:40This association is the only one in the world that does this job,
05:46said by the journalists of the world.
05:50That's why I had an international award, I'm the woman of the year in Europe.
05:55More than deserved, Margarita.
05:58Because that girl is free for you, not for the 150 or wherever they call you.
06:03No, no. I said I was going to file a complaint.
06:09I want them to close at 145.
06:11Because if they act like this with all the victims who do nothing,
06:15it is regrettable.
06:17I'm going to say this.
06:19They closed at 145.
06:21No one gave a ball.
06:23They kept insisting, no one gave a ball.
06:25And they ended up saying, if you care so much, go to court.
