“I can inform this Assembly that in urban areas of Guatemala City where homicides, extortions and insecurity were prevalent, we have managed to reinstate peace and social coexistence. At the same time, our Prosecutor's Office reports that we have lowered the levels of general impunity between 2009 and 2013 by almost 25%, particularly in the decrease of impunity in crimes against life, both homicides and feminicides, as well as sexual crimes against women and children.”

“We wish especially that the international community define as a global priority the reduction of violence against women and children, as well as the universal access to justice. Only in a world without violence against women, providing justice for all, can a path be opened towards development based on full respect for human rights.”
