In particular, the Tz’ununija’ Indigenous Women’s Movement demanded that the Guatemalan state comply with its obligation to investigate, punish and eradicate violence against women. Tz’ununija’ named specifically the state’s obligation in the cases of indigenous women that face mining or dam projects, the arrest warrants issued for 8 women from San Miguel Ixtahuacan, and climate change, which will affect women in distinct ways.
En su comunicado, el Movimiento Tz’ununija’ exigio que el Estado cumpliera con sus obligaciones de controlar, investigar, sancionar y erradicar la violencia contra las mujeres. Ademas, nombro casos especificos de mujeres indigenas que enfrentan los megaproyectos, las ordenes de captura en contra de 8 mujeres de San Miguel Ixtahuacan y los deberes del Estado ante el cambio climatico que afectara a las mujeres de forma distinta.
