Answer 1

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo was a movement of mothers whose children had mysteriously disappeared in Argentina during the oppressive government that silenced all opposition.

They helped raise awareness about the problem of having a corrupt government.

The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo were successful because they used peaceful protest to demand answers to a simple question: What happened to our children? They brought international attention to the human rights abuses committed by Argentina's military junta
