Acceso a la justicia para mujeres indígenas en Guatemala: Casos paradigmáticos, estrategias de judicialización y jurisprudencia emergente

This publication in Spanish is the result of a collaborative research project with Nim Ajpu, the Association of Mayan  Lawyers of Guatemala, that aims to offer analytical tools for ancestral authorities and state justice operators about how to approach cases of violations of indigenous women’s rights, adopting a perspective that takes into account intersecting forms of structural and interpersonal, public and private violence. Analyzing four paradigmatic cases, two heard in national courts and two processed by indigenous justice, I examine the extent to which the different strategies of accompaniment, framing, litigation or adjudication, and the legal reasoning expressed in the jurisprudence of both state and indigenous justice took the intersection of individual and collective rights of indigenous women into account.
