Además, ha trabajado en favor de los derechos humanos, la transparencia y el fortalecimiento del Estado de Derecho. Creado y articulado por esposas, hermanas, hijas, madres y otros familiares de personas detenidas ilegalmente y desaparecidas, durante estas cuatro décadas ha realizado, entre otras actividades, la recolección de información acerca de este tipo de crímenes de lesa humanidad. Desde su creación como organización de familiares víctimas, se vio en la necesidad de recibir cerca de cuatro mil denuncias de detención ilegal de personas para su posterior desaparición forzada. Muchos de estos formularios, en los que constaba información individual, fueron incrementándose en volumen, debido a que se presentaron acciones judiciales como recursos de exhibición personal, solicitudes de investigación, esfuerzos de solidaridad en favor de la mayoría de esas víctimas y documentos de identificación personal que fueron aportados por algunas de las familias. Las acciones legales que el GAM ha impulsado contra los responsables de crímenes de lesa humanidad, en los cuales ha hecho uso de su archivo (que no es histórico, pues se trata de un “archivo vivo” debido a que está conformado por casos), ha provocado que sus integrantes, especialmente su director, sean víctimas de ataques constantes, mismo que abarcan señalamientos calumniosos, ataques en redes sociales y además denuncias ante el Ministerio Público.
