This article seeks to analyze the factors that influenced the actions of human rights social movements during the authoritarian regimes, as well as in the process of democratic transition in Brazil and Argentina. At the same time, we seek to answer the following question: Why in Argentina there was a great mobilization of social movements struggling for memory and justice related to the regime of the military government (1976-1983), and in Brazil there was not much to the military government of 1964-1985? To establish an explanation that would help us to achieve the objectives outlined in this paper, we saw that it was necessary to sustain the data by combining three categories of explanatory factors, which in turn would facilitate the establishment of comparison variables between both countries. From this combination of factors, we found that the historical process of authoritarian regimes is an important factor to analyze the activity of social movements in both countries. To collect data that supports our comparative basis, we appeal to the literature review.
