This photo is thanks to Cristen. The women involved were from the various schools in the town of Livingston, Guatemala. They marched in a parade through town with handmade posters, gathered in the park and listened to various speakers, and participated in performances for the people watching. It was part of many marches organised around Guatemala for International Women's Day on 8th March. Many were specifically part of the campaign against violence against women in Guatemala. The day was celebrated by Central America Women's Network (CAWN) amongst others who recently had a speaker from Guatemala here in the UK.
We've heard that Amnesty International is planning a series of events as part of the culmination of the campaign against violence against women in early May (probably 1st-13th). We'll be able to confirm this and give more details about the events themselves which should involve a speaker from Guatemala soon.
