Preferred term

HIJOS (Children of the Disappeared)  

Definition

  • The HIJOS group is an Argentina-based association formed by sons and daughters of disappeared, murdered, and exiled people during Argentina's last military dictatorship (1976–1983). Its main objectives are to explain and remind all world citizens about what happened in Argentina during that period, to demand justice and punish the genocides, and to help all children of the disappeared recover their “stolen” identities.
