Programs
Our Justice Program aims to strengthen the justice system, by monitoring the formal legal system, promoting the right to justice and strengthening the councils of elders in rural communities. Our Education Program focuses on improving the basic literacy of Q´eqchi´ men and women, and educating Q´eqchi´ women on issues such as rights of women, family conflict issues and political participation. The Arts Program includes a "teatro popular" group who visit rural communities to present plays dealing with justice and cultural issues. More information
