The second largest indigenous group in Guatemala, the Xinka Parliament engages in political advocacy through grassroots organizational structure, promotes women’s rights and in doing so promotes wisdom, equity, and cultural strength; and protects the Xinka ancestral territory. 

The Xinka Parliament works tirelessly to hold the Guatemalan government accountable to protect their ancestral lands against mining projects and the protection of their right to protest infringements on their land rights. Women and youth rights are also at the forefront of their mission; strengthening the participation of women in structures of power and equipping the youth with tools to be the future leaders of the Xinka Parliament.
