March 24

Established by national legislation, this day commemorates the victims of forced disappearances during Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. Each year, citizens participate in marches, public ceremonies, and visits to the National Memorial to the Victims of State Terrorism. Families of the disappeared share stories and continue to demand accountability and answers. Educational programs and cultural events are organized to raise awareness of human rights and democratic values. The day serves as a powerful reminder of the need to preserve collective memory and prevent future abuses. It highlights ongoing efforts to locate missing persons and bring perpetrators to justice.
