Synopsis "Seeking Justice for Gendered Violence. Courts, Communities, and Care in Guatemala"

Guatemala is one of the first countries in Latin America to codify femicide as a crime and establish separate, victim-centric institutions of justice specializing in Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), including specialized courts and public prosecutors. Despite these pathbreaking legal reforms, Indigenous women in Guatemala face formidable barriers to seeking justice for, and escaping the multiple, overlapping forms of violence that they confront. Seeking Justice for Gendered Violence dissects the efficacy of VAWG legislative reforms, examining how they challenge and perpetrate vicious cycles of impunity and gender-based violence on the ground. Drawing on extensive case studies built from Erin Beck and Lynn Stephen’s ten years of ethnographic research with an Indigenous research team focused on Indigenous communities, activists, public prosecutors, and government officials, Seeking Justice for Gendered Violence investigates how VAWG reforms in Guatemala exist alongside and interact with preexisting societal structures and local communities, exposing the advances and limits of state-driven solutions while illuminating how Indigenous women leverage grassroots knowledge to survive, resist, and support one another in reformed but flawed systems.

Seeking Justice for Gendered Violence is an ethnography on how laws and institutions designed to address violence against women in Guatemala interact with norms, authority structures, and care strategies of Indigenous women and how Indigenous women survive, resist, and support one another using grassroots knowledge.
