Confronting Impunity: Women's Struggles for Justice, Historical Memory, and Reparation in Guatemala


October 07, 2010


The Gender and Reparations Project, in association with the Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC), the Centre for Feminist Research (CFR) and the Graduate Program in Women's Studies, present a panel discussion:
"Confronting Impunity: Women's Struggles for Justice, Historical Memory, and Reparation in Guatemala".
This panel brings together psychologists, lawyers, sociologists and feminist activist researchers who are engaged in struggles for justice and reparation in postwar Guatemala alongside women survivors of sexual violence during the armed conflict. Panelists will analyze initiatives to combat gendered impunity and create historical memory, including a three-year study of women's oral histories of experiences of sexual violence in the war, a precedent-setting court case, and a Tribunal of Conscience, within a transnational feminist agenda for reparation and gender justice.

Time: 3:00 - 5:30 pm
Venue: York University
Location: 280N York Lanes Toronto, ON
