Mexico's Disappeared: A Heartbreaking Mother's Day
Mother's Day in Mexico has taken on a more sinister tone as more than 100,000 people have disappeared in the country since 1964, leaving tens of thousands of mothers across the country bereft. Many take matters into their own hands, searching the streets or digging in fields for signs of dead bodies. The movement of mothers who lead the search for the disappeared has been marked by an even greater cruelty: since 2021, six searching mothers have been murdered across the country. The deaths of so many of her colleagues are a reminder that no one is safe.
