The Argentine human rights activist Rosa Roisinblit has died at the age of 106, her organization has announced. As the honorary president and a founding member of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, she dedicated her life to locating children who were stolen during Argentina's military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. The organization expressed its gratitude for her unwavering commitment to seek justice for the lost grandsons and granddaughters until her last days.

During Argentina's 'Dirty War,' around 30,000 people were killed or forcibly disappeared, with many children of opposition activists seized and later adopted illegally. Rosa's own family suffered this tragedy; her pregnant daughter and son-in-law were kidnapped, and her granddaughter was also taken.

Born in 1919 in Moises Ville, Rosa became an obstetrician and moved to Buenos Aires in 1949. Following her daughter's abduction, she joined the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo, where she served for many years, leading efforts to reunite families separated during the dark era.

Rosa played a pivotal role in finding her lost grandson, one of the many cases that highlighted the plight of stolen children. Her legacy continues through her family and the ongoing struggles for human rights in Argentina. Rosa Roisinblit's fight for justice resonates as a beacon for activists everywhere, reminding us of the critical importance of standing against oppressive regimes.
