During the 1990s, during the fighting between Kurdish armed groups and the Turkish army, nearly 5,000 people were killed or disappeared. Since that time, no perpetrator has been prosecuted and no investigation has been carried out into these cases. Mothers For Peace is an association of women whose relatives have been killed or disappeared. The association represents hundreds of families and manages to mobilize close to 1000 families during the events it organizes. Mothers For Peace fights for peace and demands the right to truth and justice. To this end, they regularly organize demonstrations, publish press releases and participate in joint activities with other NGOs and human rights associations.
