Worrying about Hatred of Women
(Los Amates, Izabal) Femicide and violence against women has put Guatemala in the eye of the international community, as it has the second highest death rate for women in the world. Even with the laws, 99 per cent of these crimes remain unpunished. The report said the media misreports these deaths as just events without highlighting any motives. As an example, the landmark case of the Suray sisters in May 2009 had significant space devoted to the invetigation and judicial process, but not the sentence. Although one of the children witnessed a robbery in her aunt’s home and was threatened, the media did not condemn that act. In the end, the offenders were each sentenced to 163 years in prison.
