1. Mourning the 56 in Guatemala
11/25/21 • 37 min
On 8 March 2017, 56 girls were locked in a classroom at their state-run children’s home just outside of Guatemala City, when a fire broke out. Only 15 girls survived the blaze. Four years later, no one has been sentenced for these crimes.
We speak to members of Ocho Tijax, a women’s group caring for the girls’ families and the survivors and fighting their case in the courts. We hear about the stigma they continue to face, through attacks and the destruction of their memorial, but also about their powerful campaign #NosDuelen56 (We Mourn the 56): a global cry for justice through art.
Vianney, the mother of Ashly Angelie Rodriguez Hernandez, who lost her life in the fire, tells us about her ongoing battle for accountability for her daughter's death.
TW: This episode contains references to death and abuse and one instance of strong language.
Women Resisting Violence is presented by Renata Peppl and produced by Louise Morris.
Made through a partnership with King's College London and the Latin America Bureau.
Featuring music by Rebeca Lane.
Dubbed by Cecilia Cruz, Alma Carballo, Esmeralda Lobos and Larisa Muñoz
This episode is also available in Spanish, and a Portuguese transcription can be found on our website.
This podcast hopes to influence policy around gendered violence and highlight the lessons and voices of those working on the frontline - we’d be grateful if you could add a review and share it widely to help us achieve this.

1. Nos Duelen 56 en Guatemala
El 8 de marzo de 2017, 56 niñas quedaron atrapadas en un salón de clases del internado – administrado por el Estado – donde vivían, a las afueras de la Ciudad de Guatemala, cuando estalló un incendio. Solo 15 sobrevivieron. Cuatro años después, nadie ha sido sentenciado por estos crímenes.
Este episodio se enfoca en el trabajo incansable de Ocho Tijax, un grupo de mujeres que cuidan a las familias de las niñas y las sobrevivientes, además de luchar por su caso en la Corte.
Aprendemos sobre el estigma que suelen experimentar esas mujeres, en forma de ataques personales y la destrucción del memorial para las niñas. Pero también nos enseñan sobre su fuerte campaña #NosDuelen56: una acción global, un grito por la justicia desde el arte.
Vianney, la mamá de Ashly Angelie Rodríguez Hernández, quien perdió la vida en el incendio, nos cuenta sobre su continua lucha por la justicia por su muerte.
Advertencia de contenido: este episodio contiene referencias a muerte, abuso y una frase que usa lenguaje violento.
Women Resisting Violence es presentado por Renata Peppl y producido por Louise Morris.
Producido tras una colaboración entre el King's College London y el Latin America Bureau. Con la música de Rebeca Lane. Este episodio también está disponible en inglés, y se puede encontrar una transcripción portuguesa en nuestro sitio web.

2. A Pioneira Casa das Mulheres no Rio
Localizada em um dos maiores complexos de favelas do Brasil, a Casa das Mulheres no Rio de Janeiro, oferece refúgio para aquelas que deixam relacionamentos abusivos em uma área onde a polícia se recusa a intervir.
A organização tem sido um santuário durante a pandemia, durante a qual muitos moradores de favelas perderam seus empregos. Além de lidar com um significativo aumento na violência doméstica, a Redes da Maré fornece trabalho e distribui alimentos para famílias que estão passando fome.
Ouvimos da fundadora da Casa das Mulheres, Eliana Sousa Silva, e de suas colegas da ONG Redes da Maré sobre as lutas e dificuldades que enfrentam as mulheres da Maré e como se adaptaram para se ajudarem e transformar sua vizinhança.
Louise Morris foi a produtora e roteirista e Renata Peppl a apresentadora.
Juliana Postico, Claudia Alves e Najlla Kay foram as dubladoras e Ella Barnes e Theodora Bradford nossas tradutoras. Você ouviu músicas de Rebeca Lane, Jonathan Panta, Rafael Rocha, Serena Assumpção e Gilberto Martins.
Nossos sinceros agradecimentos a Eliana Sousa Silva, Julia Leal e Michele Gandra por compartilhar suas histórias conosco.
Este podcast espera influenciar a política em torno da violência de gênero, compartilhar aprendizados e destacar as vozes de quem trabalha na linha de frente nas comunidades –– ficaremos gratas se você puder deixar um comentário e compartilhar para nos ajudar.
