Help combat impunity for disappearances in Mexico

Disappearances in Mexico constitute the major human rights crisis in the region. There are over 119,938 disappeared people in Mexico as of December 2024, according to Mexico's National Registry of Disappeared Persons.

The broader context is one of near total impunity.  The vast majority of the disappeared are never found, and families of victims rarely discover the truth about what happened to their missing loved ones.

The University Network is working with communities most impacted to seek truth and justice for these disappearances. The survival of this project depends on generous contributions from donors.

Your donation will contribute to any or all of the following work in 2025-26:

Implementation of the main recommendations of our recent report

UNHR field presence to continue document the main challenges to achieving truth and justice  

Giving direct voice to the victims of disappearances

Making visible the differentiated impact that women face in the search for the disappeared

Advising strategic litigation at the international level

Creative approaches to human rights through multi-disciplinary storytelling and art
