Femicides Spread To Guatemala

Femicides in Guatemala
. Since 2001, 1,300 women have been murdered in Guatemala.
. In 2004, the number of women killed increased by 28 percent, to a total of 527 deaths.
. More women have been killed in one year in Guatemala than were murdered in the past decade in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
. Family members of murder victims, witnesses, and leaders of women's rights groups have received threats.
. The Guatemalan government is complicit in the terror, allocating scant resources to investigations. The result: despite all the murders committed in 2004, just one person has been prosecuted.
