T MARCH MARCH

MARCH

March 8th is already over but the struggles that keep all of us women with our fists up are still very close to us every day. It goes without saying that on 8M we do not want congratulations (flowers and chocolates are always appreciated of course), but we want nothing more than what we deserve equality. In my time in this company, which has given me so much, I have come across many women, colleagues, and friends who remind me every day how strong we need to be, how intelligent and capable we already are, and how great we aspire to be because we are nothing less than that, amazing.

We are the mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, and daughters, and many of us keep our families together, the support of many upbringings, and the source of love for many families. But this does not mean that we want to receive a card saying what we already know, or a nice hug from a co-worker, or to be called beautiful and strong (because we know we are) we need the constant accompaniment of our male partners, we need them to raise their voices when they see an injustice towards us, we need you to look inside yourselves and find what is wrong and has been wrong for a long time, we need empathy and a dignified and equal treatment, we need you to help us raise our voices and not to silence them, because it is us, the ones who are here, who fight for those who are no longer with us and for those who are coming.

And to all my sisters, may this message serve to remind you that your body, mind, and personality are perfect as they are, that we have been thought to doubt ourselves, but that all of this can be unlearned with lots of love, and if the love inside you sometimes doesn´t feel enough, remember that you have a network of sisters, blood and chosen ones, who have enough love to pick you up every time you fall, we are not alone and you are never alone.

Momostenango means “City of Altars”. Quiché priest pray upon the burners and altars that can be found both in the village and its surroundings. They predict the future using seeds, crystals, beans and corn. Nearby are the famous Momostenango cliffs, playful rock formations created by erosion.

San Juan Xecul

A beautiful 16th Century temple with a fabulous brightyellow façade can be admired here showing saints and angels sitting next to corncobs and quetzal birds. The bright yellow is also the color of the local huipil worn by the women living here.

INTERNATIONAL Women's Day

International Women's Day (IWD) is celebrated annually on March 8th to commemorate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and to advocate for gender equality. The day has been observed since the early 1900s and is now recognized as a global event.

IWD is an opportunity to highlight the progress that has been made towards gender equality, as well as to acknowledge the work that still needs to be done. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of women to society and to promote their rights and freedoms.

Each year, IWD has a specific theme, and events and activities are organized around the world to raise awareness of issues affecting women and to promote gender equality. Some of the themes that have been explored in the past include "Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID-19 World," "Balance for Better," and "Press for Progress."

Overall, International Women's Day is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of empowering women in all areas of life.

MELANIE MELENDEZ

Hi my name is Melanie Melendez and I´m part of the Talent Acquisition team.

I'm a person that adapts easily to changes. I think that´s a virtue since change is something that a human struggles with naturally. I like all type of music and my favorite genres are alternative rock and metal... but I listen everything.

I like to cook, specially pastry. For me cooking for someone I care about is my love language.

I'm very outgoing and I like to sing. Some years ago I was part of a recognized chorus group and we got to perform at the national theatre and another platforms like TV shows.

I still do some covers not all of them are published but I like the process of recording and editing them. I´m very much my own producer lol.

I´m also an anime fan since I was a little girl. Some of my favs are Sakura Card Captors, Darling in the Franxx, Shingeki no Kyojin (obviously) and Evangelion. I also like to watch the WWE and F1.

And finally, one of my dreams is to start a home for rescued animals. Specially dogs and cats.
