In Mexico, human rights organizations and families in Ciudad Juárez held a memory action at the San Rafael cemetery mass grave. Participants used crosses and statements to demand the identification of remains, noting that the State Attorney General's Office reported at least 117 unidentified bodies interred there in September 2026. Activists are also advocating for a Missing Persons Law in the state of Chihuahua.

In Bolivia, the Asociación Departamental de Víctimas de la Injusticia held a memorial in Oruro to honor victims of femicide, murder, and infanticide. The association reported 150 active cases and noted a sustained increase in affected individuals. Legal advisor Norka Eliana Chambi also raised concerns regarding an increase in false reports against men, which she stated complicates the judicial context.
