It's been over two months since the tragic events in Iguala, Guerrero, where local police clashed with protestors leaving six dead and 43 students missing.
Amidst heavy criticism, the Mexican government's lack of transparency concerning the disappearance and alleged murder of the students have prompted many to take to the streets in protest. The search for the 43 students shed light on the numerous mass graves that exist in Mexico and the tens of thousands that have disappeared in the last decade.
In mid-November, the government reported that gang members had confessed to incinerating and disposing of the bodies, though the identity of the remains have yet to be verified.
President Enrique Peña Nieto has since announced a series of measures to avoid a similar event from occurring in the future, though many doubt his administration would do much to curb corruption and violence in Mexico.
Mexicans and others around the world have joined their voices to demand answers. Take a look at 43 protests that make it impossible to forget the 43 missing students.
1 - Argentina: Students protested in front of the Mexican consulate in Buenos Aires.
2 - Brazil: Brazilian activists had a symbolic protest in front of the Mexican consulate in Sao Paolo on November 27.
3 - National Autonomous University of Mexico
4 - Bolivia: The Strongest fans protested.
