The 2016 Sepur Zarco case marked the first time a national court prosecuted sexual violence as a crime against humanity. Two military officials were convicted and sentenced to over 300 years for violence perpetrated against indigenous women during the country&#8217;s internal armed conflict in the 1980&#8217;s. LeDuc&#8217;s article analyzes the strategies an alliance of women-led organizations used to develop and litigate the case to a successful resolution, despite significant threats to safety and lack of respect for women&#8217;s rights within the country&#8217;s criminal justice culture. It looks at how civic organizations can form strategic partnerships to bring impact cases for social and political change. LeDuc engaged current Evergreen students in a 2-hour presentation to the Feminist Jurisprudence class in May 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Anna (Staff) Rhoads June 4, 2018 In May 2018, Alicia LeDuc (MPA 2011) published the article &#8220;Strategic Alliances as an Impact Litigation Model: Lessons From the Sepur Zarco Human Rights Case in Guatemala&#8221; in the Willamette Journal for International&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/mpa-alumna-published-in-willamette-journal-for-international-law-and-dispute-resolution\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9454,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_s2mail":"yes"},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9454"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2103"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2104,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2103\/revisions\/2104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/mpanews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
