(2005) #Guatemala: Grandson of #RiosMontt Juan Pablo Ríos guilty of racism (he insulted Rigoberta Menchú) http://ur1.ca/dt4we

When Rigoberta Menchú was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize (1992) I was 11. I still remember all the racist jokes about her. Shameless racism.

Again, the Guatemalan conflict was not about left and right: it was about the victims, the perpetrators and the silence of powerful people.

Rape survivors shared their testimony with everyone. They were so brave. Zury, Dictator´s daughter, dismissive, said ¨They only want money¨

As in Syria now, genocide perpetrators killed domestic animals after they burned villages in #Guatemala

Renata Avila

Un detalle horrible de los testimonios: soldados llegaban, regalaban dulces a los niños. Luego volvían a matarlos. #sihubogenocidio

El juicio por Genocidio en #Guatemala es el ejercicio de un derecho. No una venganza. Y es por ellas, por su dignidad: http://ur1.ca/droi5

Children will never ever forget the day they lost their home, their families, their brothers and sisters. #genocidegt

Renata Avila

The most important lesson for Guatemalans, after genocide trial, in my humble opinion, is RESPECT. Respect to differences, respect to rights

(More on my article, finishing it soon, I hope it inspires other authors to explore women in free software in Africa, MENA, Asia, etc)

An example from Free Software Community in Nicaragua: no ¨harassment cards¨ needed. Community embraces the ¨respect everyone¨ golden rule.

Women in Free Software community very young in Latin America (under 35). As many are mothers and they are few, tricky to attend conferences.
