Voces de Mujeres (Women's Voices) formed in 1993 as an alternative, feminist media initiative with the goals of serving as a space of expression for all Guatemalan women; discussing issues that affect women; defending their rights as women; identifying dreams and expectations; recognizing the contributions of women, past and present; and connecting with social movements, particularly those related to women. The program was carried out with the voluntary contribution of more than forty women of various generations, disciplines and professions.
