Grupo de Mujeres y Hombres por la Paz

The Grupo de Mujeres y Hombres por la Paz is a community-based organization of Maya Ixhiles in Nebaj, El Quiché, Guatemala, that was formed first as a women's cooperative in the aftermath of Guatemala's recent civil war. The women formed the organization with the objective of seeking collaborative solutions to the poverty and general devestation left by the war. Since then, the women have integrated the Grupo de Hombres into their organization. Most recently, the Grupos members have worked collectively on a number of academic projects documenting their experiences, projects supported by funding from California State University San Marcos, the National Science Foundation (Project Numbers BCS 0504804 and 0504905). They are currently authoring a pedagogical grammar of the Ixhil language and are collaborators on Spanish and English descriptive grammars, also supported by the National Science Foundation (Project Number BCS 0756050). Upcoming projects include a video documentation of recent Ixhil history, creation of a community-based museum, and documentation of the medicinal uses of plants in the Ixhil area. The members of the Grupo are proud of their collaboration with academic institutions in Guatemala and the United States in jointly designed projects for the benefit of the wider community.
