UN Women Guatemala is progressing satisfactorily towards the goal that women and girls have full and equal participation in leadership and decision-making and for them to benefit from gender-sensitive governance. During 2022, the following two results related to the strengthening of capacities of public institutions, and of women and their organizations, stand out: First, The Platform of Indigenous Women -PMI-, is a body that facilitates mechanisms for political and social dialogue at the highest level between indigenous women and State institutions, the private sector, and the international community to contribute to the exercise of the rights of women and indigenous peoples. Currently, 230 indigenous female leaders from Guatemala make up the PMI, a number that has been increasing since its creation in 2019 (50 female leaders started in 2019; by 2020 there were 75 leaders; 125 leaders by 2021, and 230 female leaders by 2022). This has been possible thanks to the technical and financial support provided by UN Women to the Platform from 2019 to date. In 2022 the Platform of Indigenous Women achieved the following results: (1) The self-management capabilities of the PMI were strengthened, as evidenced by the start of the legal constitution process for the Platform through the public incorporation as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), the appointment of legal representatives, and the development and approval of the PMI's 2022-2023 Work Plan. (2) 155 indigenous women from 12 women’s organizations and different indigenous peoples (Mayans, Xinkas, and Garifunas), have greater knowledge of leadership, governance, and women’s rights; thanks to the realization of two national meetings. (3) The PMI established strategic partnerships to solidify its role as a key player and representative of women and indigenous peoples. These results are expected to contribute to the exercise of individual and collective rights and increase the political and civic participation of indigenous women. The second notable result is the Protocol to address violence against women in the political and electoral sphere, and the update of the Gender Equality Policy, which was carried out and presented by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), thanks to the technical assistance provided by UN Women and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES). Specifically, UN Women Guatemala contributed by providing support through a participatory process that included the criteria, priorities, and vision of the TSE Magistrates, directors, and technical and operational team, which allowed for the inclusion of the principles of gender equality, ethnic equity, and the principle of non-violence against women. With the implementation of the Protocol and the updating of the Policy, it is expected that the promotion of conditions of equality and non-discrimination in the daily dynamics of political activities and during electoral processes will be achieved to improve the political participation of women. One of the lessons learned from the year’s work is that UN Women’s technical and agency capacity to carry out advocacy at the highest level has the potential to support the advancement of the women’s agenda. Finally, it is important to mention that the Theory of Change of this result was carried out in a participatory manner in 2021 as part of the process of formulating the Strategic Note 2022-2025 currently in force in the Guatemala Country Office.Disclaimer and notes
