Organización pide fin de la impunidad en casos de violencia contra mujeres.
El Día Internacional de No Violencia contra la Mujeres, a celebrarse mañana (25), es ante todo, una fecha de reivindicación. Movimientos feministas y organizaciones sociales de varias partes del mundo aprovechan este día para llamar la atención sobre la violación de los derechos de las mujeres y pedir a los gobernantes acciones más firmes en el combate y la prevención a la violencia contra la mujeres.
La Unión Nacional de Mujeres Guatemaltecas (UNAMG), por ejemplo, divulgó un comunicado en que pide el fin de la impunidad de los responsables por crímenes de violencia contra la mujer. En nota de prensa, la UNAMG se muestra preocupada por el aumento de los casos de violencia contra el sexo femenino y por el elevado índice de feminicidios en Guatemala.
"Nos preocupa particularmente como la violencia sexual hacia las mujeres sigue siendo una herramienta de poder sobre nuestros cuerpos, diariamente miles de mujeres de todas las edades, etnias y clases sociales vivimos violencia sexual en las calles, en los buses, en las escuelas, en los trabajos y en la casa", destaca.
Para la Unión, la violencia sexual, así como cualquier otra violencia contra la mujer, es crimen y debe ser juzgada. Por esta razón, la UNAMG aprovecha el día 25 de noviembre para pedir a las instituciones del Estado guatemalteco el fin de la impunidad y garantías del acceso de las mujeres al sistema de Justicia. "Promover la persecución penal en los casos y denuncias de feminicidio y cualquier otra forma de violencia hacia las mujeres que han sido presentados ante las instituciones del sistema de justicia", agrega a las demandas.
En comunicado, la organización también destaca - y pide al gobierno ratificar -- los diversos tratados y acuerdos nacionales e internacionales de combate y prevención a las violaciones de los derechos de las mujeres, como el Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional y el Mecanismo Nacional del Protocolo Facultativo a la Convención contra la Tortura y Otros Tratos o Penas Crueles, inhumanos o degradantes.
De la misma forma, solicita la aplicación de instrumentos y resoluciones internacionales referentes al tema, tales como: las Convenciones para la Eliminación de todas las formas de Discriminación contra las Mujeres, la Convención Interamericana para Prevenir y Erradicar la Violencia contra la Mujer, y la Resolución nº 1325 del Consejo de Seguridad de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU ), la cual considera responsabilidad de los Estados enjuiciar a los culpados por genocidios, crímenes de guerra y de lesa humanidad, y violencias contra las mujeres y niñas.
La Unión también pide que el Estado aplique las propias leyes y decretos referentes a la violación de los derechos de las mujeres, como la Ley nacional contra el Feminicidio y otras formas de violencia contra las Mujeres (decreto 22/2008).
La demandas presentadas por ellas no son destinadas sola a las autoridades guatemaltecas y sus gobernantes. Para la Unión Nacional de Mujeres de Guatemala, es la sociedad en general la que necesita movilizarse y luchar para acabar con la violencia y con la impunidad, considerando que "la violencia contra las mujeres constituye un problema social de grandes proporciones, que impacta no solamente a las propias mujeres, sino también a la familia, la comunidad y la sociedad en su conjunto".
INGLES:
The international day of non violence against women, to be held tomorrow (25), is first and foremost, a claim date. Feminist movements and organizations from various parts of the world take advantage of this day to draw attention to the violation of women's rights and ask the rulers actions more firm in combating and preventing violence against women.
The National Union of Guatemalan women (UNAMG), for example, reported a communiqué that calls for end to impunity for those responsible for crimes of violence against women. Press release, the UNAMG shows concerned by the increase in cases of violence against women and the high rate of Guatemala feminicides.
"We are particularly concerned as sexual violence against women remains a tool of power over our bodies every day thousands of women of all ages, ethnicities and social classes live sexual violence on the streets, buses, schools, work and home," stresses.
For the Union, sexual violence, as well as any other violence against women, crime and should be judged. For this reason, the UNAMG leverages on November 25 to ask the Guatemalan State institutions ending impunity and guarantees of women's access to the justice system. "Promote criminal prosecution in cases and allegations of murders and other forms of violence against women that have been submitted to the institutions of the justice system", adds to the demands.
Communiqué, the organization also highlights - and requests the Government to ratify - the various treaties and agreements national and international fighting and preventing violations of the rights of women, as the Statute of the International Criminal Court and the national mechanism of the Optional Protocol to the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment.
Similarly, requests the implementation of instruments and international resolutions relating to the subject, such as: the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of discrimination against women, the Inter-American Convention on the prevention and eradication of violence against women, and the resolution No. 1325 Council of security for the Organization of United Nations (UN), which considers State responsibility prosecute blamed for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and acts of violence against women and girls.
The Union also requests the State to implement own laws and decrees relating to the violation of the rights of women, as the national law against femicide and other forms of violence against women (Decree 22, 2008).
The demands presented by them are not intended single for the Guatemalan authorities and their rulers. For the National Union of women Guatemala is society which needs to be mobilized and fight to end the violence and impunity, whereas "violence against women is a social problem of large proportions, which not only impacts women themselves, but also to the family, community and society as a whole".
