Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons

The Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) is a human rights organization based in Kashmir, India, focused on advocating for families of individuals who have gone missing, often due to political violence or conflict-related circumstances. Formed in 1994, the APDP works to raise awareness about enforced disappearances, provide support to affected families, and seek justice and accountability from authorities. They document cases of disappearances and push for governmental recognition of the issue, aiming to ensure that the voices of the lost and their families are heard in the quest for truth and reconciliation.
