A Focus on Rape and Genocide

This section of LibertadLatina.org contains information regarding a crime against humanity that the world is not reacting to quickly. Like past acts of modern-era mass-rapes and genocide that took place in in 1980's Guatemala (200,000 dead), and more recently in East Timor, Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda and now Congo, the world is slow to react to mass rape and mass murder.

The Darfur crisis is being responded to by a growing movement of volunteer advocates around the world. Within the United States, the folks at iAbolish.org have taken the lead on this issue.

We at LibertadLatina.org encourage our readers to think of ways in which you can make a difference in the outcome of the Darfur crisis. An estimated 70,000 innocent people have been killed, and 1.5 million people have been pushed off of their ancient tribal farmland by the Arab janjaweed militia. (This figure has, as of March 30, 2005, been updated to 300,000 murder victims. See below reports - Chuck Goolsby - 04-01-2005.)

These people still need our help!

At the same time, the organizing techniques used by the activists in the Darfur movement also need to be applied to the issues of child and adult kidnapping, rape, enslavement in prostitution, sexual exploitation and even sometimes murder, that Indigenous and Latina women and children face by the hundreds of thousands in Canada, the United States, the Caribbean and throughout the countries of Latin America.

All of these people need our help today!
