Emotionally, trans women are very frightened on election day deep down in their hearts. They would like to vote like everyone else” says a representative of Redmmutrans Guatemala, an organisation promoting human rights of trans women.

This is why Redmmutrans Guatemala is organising its own election observation activities to ensure that their right to vote is respected:

We empower trans women and, at the same time, we protect their human rights.

The EU Election Observation Mission Guatemala is currently on the ground observing the electoral process of the upcoming general elections on 25 June. The Mission is meeting LGBTIQ+ associations in several departments of the country to observe their opportunities to participate in the elections and their level of inclusiveness in the electoral process.
