A programme called Women Peacemakers broadcast by KPBS (US public broadcaster based in San Diego) in 2004 on the programme "Full Focus", featured Luz Mendez, of the National Union of Guatemalan Women (previously of the URNG). She talks briefly about her experience as part of the team negotiating the Peace Accords in the late 1990s.
Frustratingly, the programme does not have the time to discuss the issues it raises in any real depth- which is particularly frustrating when Luz Mendez briefly mentions the increasing violence against women. This article from website WomenWarPeace.org has more information on the role of women generally in the peace process in Guatemala.
