This report on Guatemala is part of a comprehensive FRIDE project on 'Strengthening women’s citizenship in the context of state-building', which aims to inform and promote state-building processes that contribute to increasing women’s citizenship in fragile states.
In particular, this backgrounder written by Magali Quintana Saravia, Ana Lucía Blas and Marco Antonio Barahona explores the challenges for state-building and women’s citizenship in the post-conflict situation of Guatemala, where the state is weak, fractured and undermined by criminal actors, and where a large part of the population suffers from extreme poverty, inequality and violence.
