An important anniversary for Argentina that means the restitution of personality that was stolen by the dictatorship.
Every October 22, the National Day of the Right to Identity is celebrated in Argentina.. The date is very important because it arose after years of silencing by the National State about what happened in the civil-military dictatorship that began in 1976 and ended in 1983.
It emerged as a tribute to the historical struggle of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo and served to raise awareness and disseminate information about the search for the grandchildren and children who were stolen by the national authorities at that time. The day was established in 2004 in commemoration of the fight started on October 22, 1977 by the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo Association. Fight that has achieved the restitution of 133 grandchildren.
