This webinar is happening a week from right now (approximately). If you share our horror about the forced disappearances now happening in the US, join us for a discussion with three people known worldwide for their instrumental roles in revealing enforced disappearances in Latin America: investigating them, accompanying victims, and fighting for accountability.

Please share!

Cheers,
Adam
