If you look at the definition of enforced disappearance, this is the whole point: stripping people of legal protection. If a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a sound? If we don’t know who’s missing or where people are, how can anyone enforce their rights?

As a pediatric hematologist oncologist I’d like to remind y’all that federal funding for ALL childhood cancers combined is only 4% of overall cancer research funding.
CHILDREN with CANCER.
Who deserve every single chance they can get yet are shown over and over how little our society cares.
