On July 28, the fourth "Be Just - Coffee Talks" was held, a forum for dialogue with Ana Elisa Samayoa and Marjorie von Ahn to discuss their experience in preparing and communicating the recently published constitutional reform proposal, as well as the importance of women’s participation in these types of processes and the next steps toward achieving greater inclusion in strengthening the justice system.
During the panel, moderated by Kathia Pezoa, a Be Just intern, the guests shared their roles within the reform project and reflected on how women’s perspectives were represented in a technical space traditionally dominated by men, the additional obstacles they faced throughout the process, and the specific tasks they are leaving for other women to promote their participation in leadership roles. The event brought together professionals from the “Impact Alliance: Women” network, as well as other women interested in female participation in decision-making roles, and concluded with a Q&A session with the audience.
Through initiatives like this, Be Just reaffirms its commitment to promoting spaces for participation that strengthen women’s leadership in building the rule of law in Guatemala. “Be Just - Coffee Talks” continues to establish itself as a platform for the exchange of ideas and the collective development of proposals aimed at strengthening the justice system.
