Guatemala: How indigenous women beat paramilitaries
Despite all odds, Guatemala’s highest court has sentenced five former paramilitary soldiers to 30 years in jail for raping 36 indigenous Maya Achi women during the country’s civil war. In this new podcast, our partners at Asymmetrical Haircuts explore with Marlies Stappers and Brisna Caxaj of Impunity Watch how women pushed for justice for 11 years and eventually succeeded. Both speakers express their admiration for the resilience, strength and creativity with which women victims in Guatemala have been achieving their goals in a particularly hostile context.
