Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo is an Argentine human rights organization formed by women whose children disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship (1976–1983). They march in Buenos Aires' Plaza de Mayo to demand justice, truth, and accountability, highlighting the government's brutal repression and mass kidnappings. The group symbolizes resilience and resistance, advocating for their missing loved ones and promoting human rights awareness. Over time, they have become a powerful voice against state violence and injustice, inspiring similar movements globally. Their persistent activism has significantly contributed to uncovering the truths of Argentina’s dark history.
