Parlamento del Pueblo Xinka

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.

New year, new us. Same mission.

Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights is rebranding to honor the legacy of our founder and hero, Mrs. Ethel Skakel Kennedy. From now on, we will proudly be known as the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center

While our name is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We will continue to fight injustice, advance human rights, and hold governments accountable around the world in 2026 and beyond.
