“Desapariciones” is a Spanish term that translates to “disappearances” in English. It refers to the act or phenomenon of people going missing, often under circumstances that are mysterious, violent, or suspicious. The term is frequently associated with human rights violations, particularly in contexts where individuals are forcibly taken, such as during political repression, war, or societal unrest. Desapariciones may also involve the unresolved cases of individuals who have vanished without explanation, leading to significant social and psychological impacts on families and communities left behind. In many societies, the issue of disappearances is tied to demands for justice, accountability, and restoration of the truth regarding the fate of the missing individuals.
