Public Policy Proposal for the Good Living of the Mayan Women of Alta Verapaz
The Public Policy Proposal for the Good Living of the Mayan Women of Alta Verapaz emerged from a process of consultation, political formation and decision making during the 2011 electoral year. In this citizen-led participatory process, about 41 organizations of civil society and 171 Mayan women met to agree on the main ideas of the public policy: political participation, land and territory, economy, sexual and reproductive education, biodiversity and protection of the environment. The document was supported by more than 1650 Q'eqchi women, and was popularized through radio programs and forums (10) by mayoral candidates.
