Abstract
The Sepur Zarco case is an example of perseverence and bravery of the 15 surviving q'eqchi women. They overcame the fear of rejection within their communities by reporting and set out on the path to justice. They internally litigated a case of international importance, naming sexual violence a crime against humanity. Through their fight, they contributed to the search of justice for women that have been victims of similar crimes in Guatemala and in the world, as well as those who are currently suffering the consequences of the continuum of violence.
