The Argentinean association Mothers of Plaza de Mayo will hold its 2,442nd march today with a call to defend social justice and human rights.

As they have done every Thursday for decades, the women whose children were taken from them by the last civil-military dictatorship (1976-1983) will make their rounds around the Pyramid of May, near the Casa Rosada.

They will also condemn the policies of Javier Milei’s government and the actions against the university founded by this organisation.

This week, the Mothers confirmed their participation in a Federal March of Anti-fascist and Anti-racist Pride, scheduled for Saturday, and urged all citizens to participate.

In a statement, the association called for «taking to the streets to repudiate the government that hungers, represses, offends, fires, indebts and hands over sovereignty».

It also called for defending «work, wages, freedom, access to food, health and free sexual orientation».

The initiative was called during a multisectoral assembly held in Lezama Park and will be attended by representatives of social, trade union, human rights and Lgbti+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual, intersex, queer and other) organisations.

Affiliates of the Confederación General del Trabajo, the Central de Trabajadores de Argentina (CTA) and the CTA-Autónoma, among other groups, have also confirmed their presence.

The participants will start at 16:00 local time from around Congress and will go to the Plaza de Mayo to express their discontent with Milei’s measures and his recent pronouncements against feminism, homosexuals and diversities.
