On March 24, the 41st anniversary of the start of the dictatorship in Argentina, human rights organizations called for a march that turned out to be one of the largest in recent years. With the participation of political and social groups, families, and self-organized groups of friends, it exceeded the organizers' expectations. One of the emblematic slogans, "There were thirty thousand" (disappeared), was reclaimed by LGBTQ+ organizations. Some of them marched with signs that read "There are 30,400" to highlight the estimated 400 LGBTQ+ people who were victims of state terrorism.

She is the niece of the disappeared leader of the same name, who was a teacher, general secretary of the teachers' union in Jujuy, and founder of CTERA (Confederation of Education Workers of the Argentine Republic). Marina told Presentes: "We both fought for liberation. She did it from within the teaching profession; I uphold it through activism in the LGBTQ+ community. I march for Memory, Truth, and Justice, for neither forgetting nor forgiving." Marlene Wayar, Susy Shock, Lara Bertolini, and other members of La Colectiva Lohana Berkins walked quickly along the edge of a packed Avenida de Mayo. They hurried because they wanted to deliver a La Colectiva scarf to Hebe de Bonafini, of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. Analia Mas, Secretary of Gender and Secularism of the Argentine Federation of Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, and Trans (FALGBT), highlighted the role of the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo in the achievements of the LGBTI community. "When the FALGBT presented the equal marriage bill, the first organizations to come and support us were the Mothers and Grandmothers. They were always very present at the hearings held in the provinces," she recalled. She added an important detail: "For some years now, we have been working on the 400 disappeared LGBTI people, trying to compile an archive. And that is only possible through the construction of a collective memory." Sasha Sacayán, Diana's sibling, held a banner from the transvestite contingent demanding justice for the murder of the leader of MAL (Anti-Discrimination Liberation Movement) and secretary of ILGA. “We are social activists, we come from the neighborhoods, and the struggle of the Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo is the cradle of all our struggles,” said Sasha. The sex workers, many of them members of LGBTQ+ collectives, marched with their slogans: “We sex workers also say Memory, Truth, and Justice. And not one more sex worker.” “We were persecuted by the dictatorship, and the persecution continued even in full democracy,” said Melissa de Oro. “We march for our comrades who disappeared during the dictatorship and to continue saying enough to the trans genocide. We continue to be disappeared in democracy. Our life expectancy is 35 years; we are condemned to an early death for not having a gender identity that conforms to the binary of this system,” said Flor Guimaraes, from Furia Trava. “We take to the streets because we have memory, history, and awareness,” said Georgina Orellano, national secretary of AMMAR (Association of Sex Workers of Argentina). Behind the Hotel Gondolín banner, Diana Zoe López explained: “We are a civil organization that works with trans women from the north, migrants from the provinces of Jujuy and Salta, in health, protection, and housing. We also have disappeared comrades, and we are concerned that in democracy, trans women continue to be disappeared.” They continue to disappear. That's why we say Not One Less and Stop the Transphobic Murders." The march, which stretched for several blocks, concluded with the reading of a document agreed upon by the human rights movement . Critical of Mauricio Macri's government, it included among its demands the measures against migrants and "attempts to institutionalize discrimination and xenophobia." Follow Presentes:
