5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The Salvadoran Civil War saw widespread violations of human rights, and the people of the Community of Santa Marta experienced these first-hand. On March 15th 1981, 7,000 troops entered the community of Santa Marta and massacred all those that they found, forcing the survivors into refugee camps in Honduras for seven years. The people of Santa Marta tell their stories of the war and ‘The Great Massacre’ but also, ongoing problems such as poverty, a lack of education and job opportunities, gang violence, mass migration to the United States, environmental problems, the mining industry and the violation of women’s rights. The People’s Voice shares first-person narratives of those in the community from ex-guerrilla fighters to community leaders to young, teenage mothers to build a picture of the social landscape, human rights and women's rights in the Community of Santa Marta throughout the past and present. All proceeds of the book will be donated to Youth Empowerment El Salvador.
