For much of the more than twelve years in which Guatemalans have been refugees in Mexico, the voices of women were not heard. Most of those who fled to southern Mexico were indigenous peasant women, who were often illiterate and spoke only indigenous languages. Unable to communicate in Spanish, they became isolated and had little contact with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Mexican authorities, the international community or the local groups offering solidarity.
