It underscores how patriarchal norms, structural inequalities, child marriage, and\u00a0high levels\u00a0of impunity continue to fuel violence against girls and adolescents. It also highlights\u00a0that Indigenous girls, girls with disabilities, and those affected by migration face disproportionate risks due to intersecting forms of discrimination.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The event convened key government and civil society stakeholders, including representatives from the Presidential Secretariat for Women, the Indigenous Women\u2019s Ombudsman, the Ministry of Education,\u00a0the Ministry of the Interior,\u00a0UN Women, the Secretariat Against Sexual Violence, Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons (SVET), the Global Survivors Fund, the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy, and organisations providing frontline support to girl and adolescent survivors.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Developed by ODI Global under a regional programme funded by the UK\u2019s Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO), the study calls for strengthening protection systems, improving inter\u2011institutional coordination, and supporting community\u2011led initiatives aimed at transforming harmful social norms. It also recommends expanding survivor\u2011centred services, investing in early prevention, and ensuring culturally\u00a0appropriate approaches\u00a0in Indigenous territories.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Embassy reaffirmed the United Kingdom\u2019s commitment to advancing gender equality and safeguarding the rights of girls and young women in Guatemala. It emphasised the importance of continued collaboration with national institutions, community organisations, and international partners to drive inclusive, sustainable, and long\u2011lasting change.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Juliana Correa, British Ambassador to Guatemala said:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">The United Kingdom\u00a0remains\u00a0firmly committed\u00a0to gender equality and to strengthening public policies that\u00a0benefit\u00a0women and girls. We want to continue working with Guatemala to support sustainable solutions, strengthen institutional capacities, and support local leadership, especially that of women and communities who have been at the forefront of this agenda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The\u00a0report\u00a0provides\u00a0updated insights into the drivers of gender\u2011based violence and the persistent barriers to social inclusion in Guatemala.
