[Linda Loaiza]
Picture this. You are 18 years old, you´ve just moved to a large city, you meet a man and have a friendly exhange of words. You take off. He follows you, hits you, kidnaps you and after months of being under his possesion, a group of police officers find you.Your face is destroyed. You cannot hear properly out of one ear, your eye is so messed up you cannot see properly. Your breasts have be nearly bitten off. You are in a pool of blood, tied up to a chair. Your womb is also destroyed, along with one of your ovaries.
After reconstructive surgery, and mental therapy you come out of your saga, just to find out that you have been deemed a prostitute who gave herself away to your captor and came home one day all beaten up and refused to go to the authorities.
Sad.
