María Claudia García

victim

María Claudia García was a Uruguayan woman who became a symbol of the human rights violations during the military dictatorship in Uruguay. She was the daughter-in-law of renowned Argentine poet Juan Gelman and was forcibly disappeared while pregnant in 1976. García's case is particularly poignant as her daughter, Macarena Gelman, was born in captivity and later recovered her identity in 2000, highlighting the ongoing fight for justice and truth in the aftermath of state terrorism in the Southern Cone of South America.
