During her time in Paraguay, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Rigoberta Menchú visited Global Peace Foundation (GPF) offices where she met distinguished and honorable women of Paraguay including social leaders, civil servants, political activists, teachers, communicators, and artists convened by GPF Paraguay Área Mujer. The women leaders have been recognized by GPF with the Annual Award "Live for the Good of Others" for their impact in their different spheres of work and life, particularly working towards personal, community, and world peace. Dr. Rigoberta Menchú, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1992, has been a tireless advocate for indigenous rights and social justice in Guatemala. Her activism began in the 1970s amidst repression and armed conflict, and since then, she has worked tirelessly to promote reconciliation and respect for indigenous cultures throughout the region.
