Hundreds of mothers searching for their disappeared children marched through Mexico City on Sunday to demand justice and criticize government inaction in a crisis involving 134,000 missing persons.
The group departed around 10:00 a.m. from the Monument to the Mother toward the Angel of Independence. Participants shared accounts of family disappearances and noted the rising number of mothers joining each year.
Josefina Morales Rocha, whose son vanished in 2013, stated that May 10 is a gray day with nothing to celebrate. Alicia Trejo, whose son disappeared in 2012, said the growing turnout shows the problem is worsening, though fear and family obligations keep some mothers away.
Graciela Pérez Rodríguez, who founded a collective in Tamaulipas, emphasized making incomplete families visible. Socorro Gil criticized President Claudia Sheinbaum for leaving the mothers alone and failing to support them directly.
