Violence is one of the threads with which the lives of Mayan women have been woven. It has marked the colors and designs of their lives, but the intensity of feminine energy (Ix, the jaguar) has given them the strength and wisdom to carry on. Violence, as one of the historical themes of these women's lives, must be done away with to ensure the fullness of the women themselves, of coming generations, different peoples and humanity.
