Building political power implies observing and understanding the processes that sustain or stop it and how historically we have incorporated ourselves to demand our full participation as subjects of (political-civic-democratic) rights in society. It is enough to remember that although women achieved the right to vote late, women from indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples were largely excluded. Guatemala has the largest indigenous population in Abya Yala (called the American Continent); however, only one woman was elected during the last election in that country- our appreciation to Congresswoman Sonia Gutierrez for her commitment to indigenous women's rights. Together with our sisters from the Network of Women's Organizations in Guatemala, we organized the First Transnational Women's Mission to Observe the political process of the second round of the presidential election. On August 20, organizations went to seven country departments to monitor it with a feminist perspective. Criteria and indicators were designed to understand the dimension of women's political participation. Due to the political crisis raised by government political forces, we have continued the political monitoring process and carried out collective campaigns and advocacy actions to demand that President Giamattei's government respect the decision of 60% of the electorate to have elected Mr. Arevalo.
