Mexico Mothers Live Fractured Lives After 'Disappearance' of Loved Ones Daniela Rea - CNN Mexico

Once again, the mothers take up their chants:

"¡Hijo escucha, tu madre está en la lucha; hijo escucha, tu madre está en la lucha!"

"Listen, son, your mother is in the struggle! Listen, son, your mother is in the struggle!"

The people, mostly women, march along Reforma Avenue in the center of Mexico City carrying photos of the faces of their disappeared children, husbands, brothers.

They marched to commemorate Mother's Day [in Mexico it is May 10], although it seems a contradiction because their children are not with them. As they did last year, they demand to know what has happened to government promises about learning the whereabouts of their loved ones.

In this march, which began at the Monument to the Mother and ended at the Angel of Independence, the mothers tell how the disappearance of their children fractured their lives and their families. Some lost their jobs in the search for their family members, while others have had to deal with illness.
