These women continue missing; their
children were deprived of their identity, their family and their
history. The human rights organizations, which for 25 years have

A park with sculptures and a monument with the names of those missing
and murdered. Supported by the legislators of the Ciudad Autónoma
de Buenos Aires, the initiative was enacted law on July 21, 1996.
