From the text, it sounds as though it was the fourteen founding members who participated in the first march on the 30 April 1977. I thought it was more than that. I can't verify this anywhere, which is why I did not want to change the article. There is a video on the webiste youtube.com which claims to be the first march of the madres and there are definately more than 14 women there, but I'm not sure whether this is authentic or not. Can anyon eclarify this?
The video can be watched here
````response: The video you saw is not of the very first march. Instead, that is one of the early marches that received media attention. The first march was indeed only 14 mothers who gathered at the plaza and just started walking. The movement grew from there as other mothers realized thast there were women in their same situation who were starting to organize. The book by Bouvard mentioned in the article is a great historical resource.

The edits I have done arose from research related to a wikipedia edit-a-thon on Spanish and Portuguese and South American connections with Scotland at the University of Edinburgh 'Connectando'. In introducing a new citation from 2019 book, I have felt obliged to re-organise and name the sub-sections and attempt to remove various duplications, although some remain as the article progresses into more details.
The individual founders of the original Mothers do not have their own pages, but are notable and so marked as possible future Women in Red targets.
Please feel free to re-edit in the light of the template box at the top.

This sentence is a comma splice, and includes some unclear grammar ("they constantly" — who is "they"? "perpetrated by" — what was perpetrated?), making the sentence very difficult to parse as a result:
