Every Thursday for more then 3 decades, the Madres de Plaza de Mayo (Mother's of Plaza de Mayo) have been walking in protest around Plaza de Mayo which is located directly in front of the Casa Rosada (the primary government building in Argentina). During the period known as the "Dirty War" (1976 to 1983) under a military dictatorship, the government was systematically kidnapping those who opposed them.  Sometimes this even included whole families.  In the beginning, the Madres were forcing the government to respond to the accusations.  Later it became a larger protest seeking justice for the missing and wanting those responsible to be held accountable.  Due to modern DNA testing, there are still ongoing discoveries of children that were taken during that time and placed with families with connections to the government.
