KJK has published a condolence message for Mirta Acuna De Baravalle, one of the founders of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo in Argentina.
Mirta Acuna De Baravalle, one of the founders of the Argentinian Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, passed away on Saturday at the age of 99.
The KJK (Kurdish Women's Movement) published a message to pay tribute to the Peace Mother and said: "We learned with sadness that Mirta Acuna De Baravalle, one of the founders of the Mothers of Plaza De Mayo, passed away .
We offer our condolences to the Argentinian women resisters and the Mothers of Plaza De Mayo through the person of resistance activist Mirta Acuña de Baravalle, and share your great pain.
Mirta Acuna de Baravalle was a Plaza De Mayo mother who spent her life in struggle from 1997 to November 1, 2024. Until her death, she was the voice of all mothers and grandmothers who lost their children and grandchildren to oppression and fascism."
The statement added; "The first action against human rights violations during the junta period in Argentina was organized by the Plaza De Mayo Mothers. These mothers, whose children and grandchildren were forcibly disappeared, suffered great injustice because they wanted to learn the fate of their children. This resistance and determination inspired the struggles of many people.
Mirta Acuña de Baravalle maintained her friendship with the people of Kurdistan, especially the Saturday Mothers. However, unfortunately, despite all her efforts, resistance, struggle, effort, ambition and longing, she could not reunite with her grandchild."
The Kurdish Women's Movement said: "We are followers of the truth march and struggle of mothers like Mirta Acuña de Baravalle. We will grow their dreams of a just and free life at every moment of our struggle.
Yes, our valuable friend, defender of justice and freedom, we will never forget you. You have proven that the struggle for justice is the most valuable and sacred thing. Do not worry, our mother of resistance; we are loading your dream into our dreams. We will keep you alive in our struggle. Your flag of resistance is in our hands. We will definitely bring the cause of justice to success by raising your white headscarves."
