Amnesty International reports that over 1,188 Guatemalan women and girls have been brutally murdered from 2001-2004. Delia Claudia Acevedo is a women's rights activist and co-founder of Lesbidadas, the only public lesbian organization in Guatemala. Claudia will speak about how groups like Lesbidadas are working to end widespread discrimination and violence against women and sexual minorities in Guatemala.
