Protect Women in Guatemala and Juárez from Violence
During the fall, thousands of Amnesty International activists helped commemorate the Day of the Dead
by participating in a "cross petition" by creating and signing crosses protesting the murders of women in Juárez/Chihuahua
and in Guatemala and calling on the Mexican and Guatemalan governments to
take steps to end the femicides. Crosses were delivered on November 2nd
to consulates and embassies of both countries. Due to the success of the action
it will continue through Spring 2007, so please take part!
