Madres Buscadoras de Sonora

Madres Buscadoras de Sonora is a collective of mothers and other relatives in Sonora, Mexico, who actively search for their missing loved ones. Many disappearances in the region are linked to drug cartel violence. The organization is newsworthy due to the recent discovery of remains confirmed to be Marco Antonio, the son of Ceci Flores, the president and founder of both Madres Buscadoras de Sonora and Madres Buscadoras de México. Marco Antonio had been missing for nearly seven years. This event highlights the ongoing crisis of disappearances in Mexico and the tireless, often dangerous, work undertaken by these search groups. Their continued efforts are crucial in providing closure to families and raising awareness about the widespread issue of missing persons in the country, particularly in regions plagued by organized crime.
