Welcome to the website of MIA, Mujeres Iniciando en las Américas
MIA seeks to increase awareness of the mistreatment of women in Guatemala, improve their socioeconomic conditions, remove gender bias in the Guatemalan government, promote educational programs to reduce domestic violence and femicide and promote equal treatment for women in Guatemala.

Cathedral in Antigua Guatemala

On our delegation trips, we take side trips to beautiful locations like Antigua, the old capital of Guatemala.

Corn and Oranges

Our activites take us to kitchens and markets. In Guatemala, most people are more connected to food production than we are in the US.

Bus Driver Widows

MIA worked with the widows of bus drivers killed at work. We have arranged microloans for several of the widows so they can create for themselves a way to make a living.

Gender equality education

We deliver our White Ribbon Campaign workshops in elementary schools, middle schools, a university, and at the National Police Academy.

Volunteers

MIA has great volunteers in the US and Guatemala. The volunteers really make our programs happen.
