The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo (Spanish: Asociación Civil Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo) is a related organization with similar origins and aims.
On 10 December 2003, the Grandmothers' president, Estela Barnes de Carlotto, was awarded a UN Human Rights prize.
The name of the organizations comes from the Plaza 25 de Mayo in central Buenos Aires, where the bereaved mothers and grandmothers first gathered.
