Meanwhile, dozens of Central American mothers whose children went missing in Mexico while attempting to flee violence in their home countries are now traversing Mexico on a journey to search for their missing children. The three-week-long Caravan of Central American Mothers includes women from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. Their children are among the tens of thousands who disappear each year along what experts call one of the most deadly migration routes in the world. Speaking at a press conference in Mexico City on Monday, Lourdes Sauzo, whose son was killed in Mexico, spoke about his body being returned to her in pieces.

Lourdes Sauzo: “After 26 months, we received his remains, the pieces. We did not receive all the pieces of his body. We demand that, please—not please, but a demand—that the bodies be sent in their entirety, to send the right remains, because bodies have been sent that don’t belong to the victim. They say it’s a woman, and they send the body of a man.”
