Una Rosa Y Mil Soldados

Ozorio was 13 when she was snatched from her home in the town of Nueva Italia in Paraguays central department. She was taken by a colonel (vice-commander of the Presidential Escort Regiment) and two other soldiers during the Stroessner dictatorship. For the next two years she was held in captivity and subjected to sexual slavery by the colonel. Ozorio was freed by her captor because she had reached the age of 15 and he was no longer interested in her. She went to Argentina to seek safety and has lived in Buenos Aires ever since. Thirty-seven years later she returned to Paraguay to present her book, A Rose and a Thousand Soldiers (Una rosa y mil soldados), her story of what happened to her during the two years she was subjected to sexual slavery.
