Thirty years after the first gathering of the families of the missing and forcibly disappeared in 1982, ACT for the Disappeared, the Committee of the families of the kidnapped and disappeared and the association SOLIDE called on all citizens to gather on November 2012 in front of the Lebanese National Museum to support the cause and stand for their right to know. From there, a bus convoy left and stopped at highly symbolic places: three sites of mass graves specified by the Lebanese State in 2000 and the tent of the disappeared in front of the UN House.

The Oral History project on the missing and forcibly disappeared during the Lebanese war (1975-1990) was initiated in 2011 as part of the wider project "Talking between generations: an oral history project on political violence and its impact", conducted by the International center for transitional justice. Students are trained on the issue of the missing and forcibly disappeared and on how to conduct interviews on sensitive subjects. Following the training, participants identify relatives of disappeared persons in their surroundings, and conduct audio interviews with them. Since 2011 ACT carried out its oral history project with Palestinian youth and university students from Notre Dame University (NDU), the American University of Beirut (AUB), Saint Joseph University (USJ), Balamand University, Lebanese American University (LAU), Beirut Arab University (BAU) and Manar University (MUT).

Fushat ‘Amal, a Space for Hope, is an interactive digital space designed to bring to the public some of the individual stories of the thousands of persons who went missing in Lebanon over the past four decades, and whose families continue to struggle to learn their fate. Communication campaigns ensure that the project is made known to relatives of the missing in Lebanon and abroad (reaching out to the diaspora), with the aim of engaging more citizens and raising awareness among the youth.

In May 2015, ACT for the Disappeared organised a discussion on the issue of the missing with NDU students in political sciences and La Sagesse students in Law. ACT took this opportunity to present Fushat 'Amal, the National Virtual Memorial project, and invite the youth to participate in this initiative.

In 2015, ACT in partnership with ABAAD and Artichoke studio, with the support of the European Union, worked with families of the missing from Burj Shamali Camp to create a memorialisation project where they can express themselves and honour their loved ones together. The project developed by the families who participated in this activity is a graffiti representing their hope, painted on the wall of Burj Shamali Camp cemetery to express that their loved ones are neither dead nor alive.

In 2015, ACT and its partner ABAAD and Artichokes, with the support of the European Union, worked with two groups of families of the missing in the Tyre district towards creating a memorialisation project where they can express themselves and honour their loved ones together. Following this activity, the families expressed their wish to publicly advocate for their right to know about their disappeared family members in their community. They decided to install a commemorative plaque to reaffirm that they will not forget and that they will continue to struggle to uncover the fate of their loved ones. This plaque in the public garden of Tyre aims to become a gathering place for all the families of the missing of Tyre where they could meet to share their suffering and honor their loved ones.

On the 27th of February 2016, families of the missing in Jbeil inaugurated the commemorative mosaic "We will not forget" to revive the issue of missing persons in Jbeil and to reaffirm that they are still demanding to know the fate of their loved ones.
The inauguration of the mosaic in Jbeil public garden was sponsored by the Municipality of Jbeil and took place in the presence of its representatives. This event was held in the framework of the European Union-funded project ‘Clarifying the Fate of the Missing and the Disappeared Persons in Lebanon' implemented by ACT for the Disappeared, in partnership with ABAAD and Legal Agenda.

Act for the Disappeared initiated this initiative in 2014 together with International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)’s Ante-Disappearance Data collection that aims to collect information on persons who went missing during armed conflicts in Lebanon since 1975. With the advisory of Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team, Act has been collecting and analysing information on missing persons using individual interviews with members of their families, as well as investigating potential locations of mass graves.

"Act for the Disappeared" in partnership with "ABAAD - Resource Center for Gender Equality" and the "Legal Agenda" today launched a program that will inform and engage families of missing and frocibly disappeared in Lebanon to advocate for their 'right to know' and to make their voices heard by decision makers. In parallel, the project will support the families’ associations in an ongoing judicial process, which was initiated in 2009. The objective is to lead to a judicial decision that recognizes the existence of mass graves and protect them in view of their future exhumation. “After the historic ruling of Lebanon’s State Council on March 4th, 2014, it has become ever more important to locate the existence of mass graves in the country and to protect them through the judiciary. The judiciary is an indispensable platform to enshrine the right of the families of the disappeared to know, as it has been recognized by the State Council earlier this year” said The Legal Agenda.

"Act for the Disappeared" in partnership with "ABAAD - Resource Center for Gender Equality" and the "Legal Agenda" today launched a program that will inform and engage families of missing and frocibly disappeared in Lebanon to advocate for their 'right to know' and to make their voices heard by decision makers. The EU-funded programme will facilitate the creation of a nation-wide network of families of the disappeared and will provide them with a platform for expressing their views to the public.
