Disappearance is a crime against humanity, which has increased since the Mexican State declared war against the organized crime in 2006. The inaction of the authorities facing this grievous crisis on human rights has forced the families of the disappeared to lead their search, in life and in death. Therefore, the objective of the text is a critical analysis the political and media discourse which has reduced the disappeared to just statistics, confining their media and social representation to a figure where the criminalization of the victim has more importance than the demand of justice for the amount of Human Rights that are being violated. This article found that a person in Mexico does not disappear once, but four times: 1) physical, where their human right to freedom is denied; 2) juridical-administrative, in which they’re reduced to an statistic, disregarding their right to equality and juridical security; 3) social-symbolic, where they’re criminalized, and stigmatized taking away their right to presumption of innocence; and 4) media, in which they’re victimized again, violating their right to dignity.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">How to reference this <span lang="EN-US"><span>article: <br />Franco-Migues, D.
