Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 March 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Latin America.
Latin America
Would the hon. Lady include in her reference to human rights the position of women in Latin America, and specifically in Guatemala? I secured a debate on that some time ago, and have asked questions about it more recently. Women in Guatemala are subject to horrific levels of domestic and street violence, rape and murder, and more needs to be done by countries such as ours to promote human rights, particularly for indigenous women, and to help them get access to the Guatemalan system of justice. The position of women there is bleak and dire.
