Norma Cruz has received numerous death threats for her work documenting cases of violence against women in Guatemala and helping women fight for justice. Some of her relatives have also suffered threats and attacks and nobody has been brought to justice for these. Amnesty International is calling for an investigation into the death threats against human rights defender Norma Cruz and for those responsible to be brought to justice.
