In the midst of the last military dictatorship in Argentina, the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo began marches around the May Pyramid, symbol of freedom. To recognize themselves, they began to use a white headscarf originally made with cloth from the diapers that were used for babies, thus representing the children.
