27. "Silenciaron nuestra historia... ahora queremos justicia". Las violaciones a los derechos humanos cometidas contra las mujeres durante el Conflicto Armado Interno en la región Q´eqchí´. ( "They silenced our history... now we want justice." Human rights violations committed against women during the Internal Armed Conflict in the Q'eqchí' region.)

The importance of knowing and making visible the specific rights of women who were violated during the Internal Armed Conflict is justified by the need to identify what rights were and in what different ways they were violated in that context. Although it is presumed that the applicability of the Human rights is universal, some aspects show inequality in the application of human rights towards women, such as gender violence, the feminization of poverty, femicide, and discrimination associated with women.

In this vein, the fundamental objective of this investigation is to contribute to the identification of these violations of human rights of women during the Internal Armed Conflict, taking as a case that of Q'eqchi's women in general and of 6 communities in particular: Cambayal and Sesajal, in the municipality of San Pedro Carchá and Sesuchaj, Semox Setinta, Carolina and SantaLucía Cajcán in the municipality of Chisec, in the department of Alta Verapaz.
