La Jornada: "The Nobel Peace prize winners Rigoberta Menchú (1992) and Jody Williams (1997) are leading a campaign against femicides in Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala.
Menchú, Guatemalan indigenous leader, reported that she and the U.S. citizen, Williams, will participate in research beyond that carried out by authorities in each country, in order to contribute to the clarification of cases and prevent impunity. She indicated that the research will take place during a field visit from January 21 to 31 in the three countries.
... Menchu stated that human rights activists, artists and filmmakers from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Guatemala will also participate in the investigation." Spanish original
The MexicoBlog of the Americas Program, a fiscally sponsored program of the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), is written by Laura Carlsen. I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
