Today, on International Women’s Day, AFAD pays tribute to the strength of all women, to those who have played a major role in the fight against enforced disappearances in the past and to those who continue their struggle for truth and justice today. 

Despite all the difficulties faced by women victims of this crime, women are often at the forefront of the struggle against enforced disappearances, being wives, mothers, sisters and human rights defenders at the same time.
