MuJER welcomes new staff!

MuJER- Mujeres por la Justicia, Educación y el Reconocimiento is happy to welcome three new members to our staff! MuJER, based in Guatemala City, empowers sex workers by creating programs that range from literacy to vocational training,

Since 2005, MuJER has made available a literacy program Leer es Poder (Reading is Power), computer classes, and English language classes to women in Guatemala City’s downtown red light district, La Línea (the railway line) and to the city’s greater community of sex workers. Many women in La Línea lack access to education and/or skill training that would allow them to leave their current life of prostitution.

MuJER is happy to announce that our programs have since then expanded to include vocational scholarships and Beauty classes. “Noemi” and “Beatriz,” two sex workers from La Línea, received scholarships from MuJER in 2006. They have since then received training in Beauty and Cosmetology and on May 7, 2007 they were hired by MuJER to teach their new found skills to other sex workers.

MuJER would also like to welcome Wendy Rosales Mendez to our team. Wendy will be working as our Administrative Assistant. She will oversee the Documentation Center and monitor local media outlets for news on violence against women in particular within the sex worker community.

To find out more on how you can help by sponsoring a woman to take a vocational training course please visit our website: http://mujer.cfsites.org or email us at: leerespoder@gmail.com

Thank you so much,

Tania Torres and Ana Moraga
Executive Co-founders and Directors
