    “Doubly Disappeared” is a historical research project in which we seek to reconstruct the stories of people with disabilities who were victims of political violence during the dictatorship in Chile, so that they are no longer made invisible and their stories may illuminate our present.

    In this document, we have compiled the stories we have found of 21 people with disabilities who were victims specifically of enforced disappearance and political execution.

    This work is incomplete and imperfect. We know that 21 is an unfair number; we have no doubt that other people with disabilities who were disappeared and executed are missing from this document. We also lack the identification of people with disabilities who survived detention and torture, and we even lack knowledge of the history of people who acquired a disability as a result of the detention and torture they were subjected to.

    “Doubly Disappeared” is an invitation to gather more information about these stories and add the history of other people with disabilities, but also to make the necessary reflections. It’s an invitation to talk with victims, family members, and memory sites, to address what these stories mean, and, above all, what the absence of those who were disappeared and executed has meant.

    If you have information about people with disabilities who were victims of the dictatorship in Chile, please write to us to continue expanding this registry at contacto@nucleodisca.cl
