Mother of two young people murdered in the context of the war on drugs in Mexico, one of which disappeared for three years. The search for her son led her to join other families of missing persons with which she founded the organization Relatives in Search María Herrera and the National Network of Collectives of relatives of missing persons, the National Links Network. Her work of searching, reporting and social organization has led her to become a human rights defender.
