    gathered weekly at Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to peacefully protest repression in 1977. Their simple request was to stop the brutality and violence of the military dictatorship and the dirty war. Their fury developed through the deaths of their children. They chanted, " We want our children, tell us where they are" as they marched. Military officials called them crazy because they had no proof of anything happening to their children. They called themselves the mothers of the Plaza de Mayo and eventually wore white scarves around their heads with the names of their children and the date of their disappearance. Most Argentineans at this time ignored the brutality or they just kept quiet because they were afraid. Their expressions drew attention on an international level. Human rights groups brought them to conferences abroad and they were able to speak publicly around the world.
