Episode 7 of documentary series 'Entremosle a Guate' entitled 'La justicia con rostro de mujer' has just been posted on the internet. This focuses on the work of two women working in the Guatemalan criminal justice system. Glenda Monroy works in the Fiscalia de la Mujer and Carmela Curup, the first indigenous woman to qualify as a lawyer. Cast against a background of rising violence against women, the programme manages to illuminate the issue with the courageous example of these two women.

Violence against women continues to get sporadic publicity in the Guatemalan press some less, some more insightful. There's also a clip of the BBC documentary 'Killer's Paradise'  showing Norma Cruz, a Guatemalan activist for women's rights posted on the internet recently. Last month Amnesty International produced another report on the issue reiterating the fact that the violence is continuing to rise.
