Lost children of Chile

During the 70s and 80s,

between 8,000 and 20,000 Chilean babies

and young children

were adopted by families

across Europe and North America.

The biological mothers

were typically very young

and very poor.

These adoptions

were part of a national strategy

to eradicate childhood poverty,

which the military dictatorship

hoped to accomplish, in part,

by removing deprived children

from the country.

International adoptions

had begun decades

before Augusto Pinochet took power,

but in 1978, promoting adoption

became the official policy

of the government.

Pressure on mothers

to give up their children increased,

and international adoptions surged.

To Alejandro Quezada,

the founder of the campaign group

Chilean Adoptees Worldwide,

the effect of Pinochet’s policies

was the “criminalisation of poverty”.

State power

was used against poor families

to prevent them

from raising their own children,

and a climate of violence prevented

most mothers from resisting.

Not only were the victims poor,

many of them were also members

of the indigenous Mapuche community,

a group that has long been persecuted.

Under the dictatorship,

the precarious existence of these women

was seen as an obstacle to progress.

While there were few families

looking to adopt

brown-skinned babies in Chile,

there was more interest abroad.

By sending them

to wealthier countries

Chile’s government “believed

they were saving these children”,

says Karen Alfaro,

a professor of history and geography

at the Austral University of Chile,

and an expert on Chile’s

international adoptions.

But the larger goal,

according to Alfaro,

was rebuilding relations abroad.

Many countries had severed

relations with Chile

after the 1973 coup

that overthrew the nation’s

democratically elected

government.

“The dictatorship promoted

adoption as a mechanism

to rebuild diplomatic relations,”

Alfaro said,

“especially with countries

that had received Chilean exiles

and whose governments

were critical of human rights

violations.”

U.S. Role in Chilean Coup

General Augusto Pinochet

(1915-2006)

ousts Salvador Allende

(1908-1973)

in CIA-sponsored coup

and proceeds to establish

a brutal dictatorship

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1222905.stm

3,000 people

(...)

disappeared or died during the 17-year

military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet,

who was installed in a coup in 1973

that overthrew Chile’s

democratically elected president,

Salvador Allende.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/29/
obituaries/ana-gonzlez-dead.html

In 2011,

developments such as the first ever inquiry

into the death of President Allende,

made exhibiting his work to the Chilean public

seem all the more relevant.

His exhibition

at the Centro Gabriela Mistral in Santiago

was shown in March and April of that year
