Biography

She was born in the city of

Military dictatorship of Chile, then in its early years.[4] Only her grandson Luis Emilio «Porotito» Recabarren Mena, then 2 years old, returned alive. The next day, on April 30, her husband Manuel (50 years old) went out to look for their children and daughter-in-law, and he was also arrested and disappeared. According to some testimonies, he has been seen alive in the Villa Grimaldi detention center.[5]

After losing a large part of her family, González joined the Association of Relatives of the Disappeared Detainees (AFDD) and became one of its primary leaders alongside

International Red Cross, International Commission of Jurists, the Holy See, and Amnesty International.[1]

In 1996, she was the focus of the Televisión Nacional de Chile-broadcast documentary Quiero llorar a mares and in 2001 won the Premios Ondas for Ibero-America for the Best Program or Professional or Television Station.[6] In June 2000, she filed a formal complaint against Augusto Pinochet for the disappearance of her family 26 years prior.[7]

At 93 years of age and still not knowing where her family disappeared to, González de Recabarren died on 26 October 2018.[8]
