I am a woman who is no longer afraid to confront the challenges in my life, in my family, and even in my community. I have discovered myself and know that I have value.

In 2022 our team grew to thirty-three staff members and our work now spans across three countries. In Guatemala, we provided 1,428 free legal services to over 800 women. More than 1,300 women and girls participated in our programs, and we welcomed twenty-two new women to our network of Community Advocates. Regionally, we collaborated with individuals from 155 civil society organizations, sharing knowledge and technical assistance.
As a team, we celebrated the achievements of the last decade and began to define ambitious organizational goals for the future. Recognizing that sustainable growth must be guided by local expertise and informed by our past experience, last year we created an Impact and Learning team which is dedicated to ensuring that our work has a lasting impact that will transform communities.
We are filled with immense gratitude as we reflect on the work we have accomplished together in our ongoing mission to end gender-based violence and improve the lives of women and girls in rural, indigenous communities. While we celebrate our accomplishments from the last ten years, we eagerly look forward to the next decade.
Thank you for being a critical part of our success.
