Violence against women and girls is one of the most oppressive forms of gender inequality and stands as a fundamental barrier to the equal participation of women and men in social, economic, and political spheres across Guatemala. WJI is championing women’s access to justice and ensuring that they are better able to assert their rights and live free from violence.
