Young girl member of Kquinick community.
In March 2011, 14 communities were evicted forcibly and violently from Polochic Valley to make way monocultures of sugarcane and African palm. After two years, about 800 Mayan Q’eqchi’s families are landless to live and work. Now each family survives on $ 3-4 a day earned by women especially with small odd jobs. The men are unemployed.
