What is International Day of Recognition for Women Searchers of Missing Persons?

The International Day of Recognition for Women Searchers of Missing Persons on December 19 is a UN observance honouring the mothers, sisters, wives and daughters who search for loved ones who have disappeared. In countries such as Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, many of these women dig through fields, visit morgues and confront officials on their own, often facing threats and violence. The day calls for their protection, for governments to take up the search, and for justice for the missing and their families.
