The Peace Brigades International-Mexico Project has posted on social media:
“PBI accompanies search groups in Mexico City and Cuernavaca during the marches and other activities on May 10. We recognize the strength of the searching mothers and all the women who defend truth and justice in Mexico.
We continue to stand in solidarity with them and raise awareness of their struggle for human rights.”
We have previously posted about PBI-Mexico at the march in Mexico City at: PBI-Mexico accompanies the XIV March of National Dignity for the disappeared on Mother’s Day in Mexico City (May 11, 2026).
That article adds: “For years, May 10 has ceased to be a date of celebration for thousands of mothers in Mexico. In Morelos, the day has been consolidated as a day of protest in which mothers, daughters, sisters, wives and granddaughters take to the streets to demand the return alive of their missing loved ones.”
And El Universal reports: “On the esplanade of the Plaza de Armas in Cuernavaca, they denounced that the enthusiasm for events such as the World Cup contrasts with the reality of those who live in a permanent absence. In Morelos, they pointed out, there are more than two thousand missing people and at the national level the figure exceeds 133 thousand. ‘Hopefully just as millions of people will gather to shout a goal, there will also be space to shout for those who are missing,’ said a mother during the statement.”
From Canada we follow this including in the context of the “Mexico-Canada Dialogue on Human Rights and Multilateral Issues” taking place in Ottawa on May 20, 2026, and as noted by El Universal the FIFA World Cup that runs from June 11, 2026 to July 19, 2026, with games to be played in Toronto and Vancouver.
