On December 22, 1997, 32 women and 13 men from the displaced person camp in Los Naranjos, in the community of Acteal, municipality of San Pedro Chenalhó, Chiapas, Mexico, were killed by heavily armed men. The attackers identified by the survivors were members of paramilitary gangs who had destroyed their homes and crops weeks before, forcing them to seek refuge in Acteal. Several human rights defenders associations have prepared detailed reports of the massacre and various media outlets have disseminated their analysis. In this accumulation of information, the voices and feelings of the women who had lost themselves in the chaos, as well as chronologies and political analyses are rescued. The authors of the essays and compilers of the testimonies make up a group that for more than ten years has come together in the organizational work with indigenous and mestizos of Chiapas. Its strategy of action is registered with all those who seek to stop the violent acts that deeply and frequently prevail in Chiapas.
