Women’s bodies in this country have become wounded territories, marred by violence. Everyday life and its social dynamics have reached irrational levels of incoherence. Sexual violence against girls, adolescents, young women, and adult women has become a systemic reality—normalized and perpetuated.
Statistics reveal the dire situation in Guatemala: risk, danger, and abuse have become part of daily life. Yet this truth has long been silenced and rendered invisible. In general, the population disregards and underestimates these issues, often rejecting any effort to acknowledge or address them.
The conditions necessary for a life of dignity remain stagnant. There is no system in place to guarantee the protection and reparation of Guatemalan girls and women, and each year brings an increasingly hostile reality for them.
In response to apathy, indifference, impunity, and normalization, this project plants its first seed with the hope of growth. Its purpose is to make the truth visible, heard, acknowledged, and repaired.
