Guatemalan civil rights

Guatemalan civil rights refer to the fundamental freedoms and protections, such as freedom of speech, assembly, equality, and justice, that individuals are entitled to under the law. Despite constitutional guarantees, many citizens, especially indigenous groups, have faced discrimination, violence, and limited access to justice. Over the years, efforts have been made to improve civil rights through legal reforms and international pressure, but challenges remain in ensuring all Guatemalans can fully enjoy their rights without fear of repression or inequality.
