- Description
- The authors describe the violence against women in Guatemala, specifically focusing on the number of murders, the victims, the context in which they occur, the theories behind the murders, and the specific circumstances that led victim Rodi to leave Guatemala and seek asylum in the U.S. They examine aspects of the Guatemalan legal and judicial systems, the ineffective response from police, prosecutors and the judiciary, that results in widespread impunity for perpetrators. They describe Guatemala's international obligations to protect women and the current U.S. programs offering economic assistance to strenghten the Guatemalan criminal justice system.
