On International Mother’s Day and the International Day of Families, civil society members in Srinagar highlighted the ongoing anguish of Kashmiri mothers whose spouses and sons have been lost since 1989, following their disappearance in Indian custody. Civil society members also condemned the Indian government’s use of force in Jammu and Kashmir, especially due to their devastating impact on Kashmiri women facing house raids, detentions, and torture.
