She gives the background of the committee which is made up, primarily, of women whose children or spouses have disappeared or been assassinated. She discusses atrocities committed against political prisoners in El Salvador and condemns the U.S. for its foreign aid. She also talks about how she was detained and tortured by the police. A brief question and answer session follows the remarks.
