In April 1977, Argentina’s Madres de la Plaza de Mayo held their first weekly march against the military commanders who had planned the systematic disappearance and murder of thousands. Four decades on, the mothers continued to march, their white headscarves a symbol of the relentless battle for justice for crimes against humanity committed a battle in which they have been largely successful, with more than 700 perpetrators sentenced.
