The drama of children who disappeared in our country, the Argentine Republic, is one of the consequences of the Doctrine of National Security, enforced by the military dictatorship, which ruled the country between 1976 and 1983.These children are the children of our children, who have also disappeared. Many babies were kidnapped with their parents, some after their parents were killed and others born in concentration to which their parents were taken after having been sequestered at different states of their pregnancy. We, the babies' grandmothers, tried desperately to locate the babies and during these searches, we decided to join together in 1977. Hence, the non-governmental organization called Abuelas (Grandmothers) de Plaza de Mayo was established, dedicated specifically to claim for the return of our grandchildren. We also dedicated our energy to investigate our children and grandchildren's disappearance, in hopes of finding them.We talk with Estela Estela Carlotto president of the association.
