 * This article highlights the direct causes and effects of femicide in Guatemala over the span of the postwar period. By using ethnographic research conducted over a period of 12 months, this article is able to draw correlations between femicide and the government, public institutions like schools, the media, and nongovernmental organizations in their complicity or direct connection to the matter. The ethnographic research consists of a field study in which various members of the Guatemalan community were interviewed to determine the causes and effects of femicide on the lives of the average Guatemalan citizen. After analyzing the field notes and the study itself, the author concludes that there is a direct correlation/cause-and-effect relationship between femicide and the actors mentioned above.

 * This book highlights the struggle for social rights in Latin America over the latter half of the 21st century to now, with different chapters focusing on different nations. One chapter in specific includes a large portion of another book written by Susan A. Berger entitled “Guatemaltecas” which highlights the gender imbalance and what that means socially and politically for women in Guatemala. The source utilizes social and historical context to emphasize the government’s direct complicity/involvement in the gender inequality within Guatemala, and how that can lead to high rates of femicide across the nation.

 * This article highlights the 2008 law passed in Guatemala against femicide, and its failure to protect the 9000+ women that have fallen victim to femicide since its legislation. The article focuses on three specific instances of femicide popularized by the media and the public’s reaction to it, as well as the criminal justice system’s failure to protect the victims. It provides important context and information regarding femicide’s prevalence in the nation despite laws being passed to “actively” combat it.
