The demonstration, titled “National Dignity March: Mothers Searching for Their Children, Truth and Justice,” brought together many people from across the country. Carrying photos of their missing loved ones, the protesters demanded the fate of their relatives to be revealed and called for those responsible to be punished. The demonstrators criticized the government for its lack of action in investigating the disappearances of more than 116,000 people registered as missing in Mexico, according to the National Registry of the Disappeared. Over 70% of these cases date back to the last decade. In 2017, Mexico enacted the General Law on Disappearances under then-President Enrique Peña Nieto, establishing protocols such as the National Search System and a dedicated commission to assist families. However, activists say the measures have failed to deliver justice, as most cases are not classified as crimes, preventing proper legal investigations. A 2021 report by the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) revealed that less than a third of disappearances recorded between 2018 and 2021 were officially recognized as crimes, with even fewer linked to enforced disappearances under Mexican law.
