Say no to Sexual Violence

The use of sexual violence in war is one of the great injustices of our lifetime. It is hard to document, let alone investigate. Perpetrators do not discriminate, because it’s not about sex, but violence, terror, power and control. When rape is committed during conflict, it has often been seen as an inevitable part of […]

Digamos no a la violencia sexual

El uso de la violencia sexual en las guerras es una de las mayores injusticias de nuestro tiempo. Se trata de un fenómeno difícil de documentar y más difícil aún de investigar. Sus autores no discriminan porque en definitiva, no se trata de sexo, sino de violencia, de terror, de poder y de control. Cuando […]

Feliz Año Nuevo – en Abril?

No se preocupen, no hemos cambiado los calendarios para juntarnos a los lugares del mundo que celebran el Nuevo Año en primavera. Más bien, el año financiero británico corre desde abril hasta marzo, entonces aquí en la Embajada se siente mucho como el nuevo año. Actualmente estamos planificando el año que viene y quisiéramos compartirles […]

Happy new Year! – in April?

Don’t worry we haven’t changed calendars, to join up with those parts of the world that have a Spring new year. Instead because the UK’s financial year runs from April to March, it feels very much like the start of a new year in the Embassy.  So we are busily checking our plans for the […]

British Week Guatemala 2014 – which bit did you like best?

The public events are the most obvious ones to start with and we kicked off in February with a Battle of the Bands to show that British Music is GREAT and so is Guatemalan musical talent. Singing along to British songs from bands as different as Coldplay, Led Zepplin and the Beatles is always a […]

Día Internacional de la Mujer

El 8 de marzo es un día importante para mí.  Es el 103 Día Internacional de la Mujer.  Estoy segura que muchas personas se preguntarán  por qué necesitamos un día para las mujeres.  Para mi la respuesta es obvia.  Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo desde que este día fue establecido en 1911 pero todavía hay […]

Women’s International Day

The 8 of March is an important day for me. It is the 103rd International Women’s Day. I am sure lots of people would shrug and question why we need a day for women. For me the answer is obvious. We have come a long way since this day was established in 1911 but there […]

Reconociendo la Identidad Cultural en Honduras

Hoy es el Día Internacional de la Lengua Materna. En la región dónde trabajo, aunque la lengua española domina, hay más de 20 diferentes lenguas y probablemente muchos más dialectos.
