C,D,&E just took the quiz.

Answer 2

The correct answers are C, D and E. The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo campaigned for human rights, challenged government power and fought for truth and democracy in Argentina.

During the years of the Argentine military dictatorship, from 1976 to 1983, they were constantly opposed to the measures taken by the government, suffering constant persecution, including kidnappings and disappearances.

In spite of the arrival of democracy in the country, in 1983, they continued with their marches and acts, asking for condemnation for the military that participated in the government. They have received support and recognition in a large number of international organizations and given their support to many other groups fighting for human rights.
