Action Item: Call for investigation into murders of Guatemalan women
The good folks at Amnesty International do a lot for women's rights around the world. They're currently working to increase awareness of and efforts to prosecute and prevent the terrible wave of sexual assault and murder of women in Guatemala. Literally thousands of women have died, and almost nothing has been done about it.
Here's what you can do:
- Demand that the Guatemalan government take action
- Find out more about the problem here, here, and here
- Let other people know about this! Like Ani D. says, silence is violence in women and poor folks.
