VARIOUS OF MOTHERS MARCHING ON REFORMA AVENUE / CHANTING SLOGANS AND CARRYING POSTERS OF MISSING PEOPLE MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MAY 10, 2026: Mothers of missing persons marched in Mexico City on Mother’s Day, May 10, to raise awareness about the country’s disappearance crisis and to demand justice. Held under the slogan “the mothers will reach the final,” the demonstration took place along Reforma Avenue as the number of missing persons in Mexico has reportedly surpassed 130,000. Framed by the upcoming World Cup year, several participants wore football jerseys featuring photos of their missing loved ones as part of the protest calling for accountability and answers. Mexico has reported more than 100,000 forceful disappearances since 1964, when the government began documenting such crimes. Since then, disappearances have become a favored method of repression by criminal groups and state security agencies. In the past six years, a person went missing in Mexico every hour.
