Help Mothers of the Disappeared Find Justice
Organization information
Instituto Mexicano de Derechos Humanos y Democracia A.C.
Location: Mexico City, Mexico
Summary
Since the start of Mexicos drug war in 2006, more than 37,000 people have disappeared. Authorities are often involved in the disappearances or are unwilling to resolve them, which has led to hundreds of mothers forming collectives throughout the country to personally search for their loved ones and to seek justice for these wrongdoings. We provide capacity-building training to these mothers in order to empower them in exercising their rights to justice, to the truth, and to receive reparations.
