Madres en Resistencia Collective

The Madres en Resistencia Collective is an organisation that has worked for more than three years in the defence of human rights in Chiapas, searching for truth and justice in the cases of femicides they accompany, and in search of their disappeared relatives. Their commitment and fight has encouraged other families to join their actions.

Human rights defenders (HRDs) and journalists in Mexico are subject to intimidation, legal harassment, arbitrary detention, death threats, acts of physical aggression, enforced disappearances and killings as a result of their activities in defence of human rights and the exercise of freedom of expression and journalism.
