Rigoberta Menchu Tum Activista por la Paz y los Derechos Humanos Premio Nobel de la Paz 1992 R igoberta Menchú Tum nació en Chimel, Guatemala, en 1959, y es descendiente de la antigua cultura Maya-Quiché. De niña trabajó en los campos, y más tarde fue empleada doméstica en la ciudad, donde conoció la injusticia, la discriminación y la miseria que aflige a los indígenas de Guatemala. N unca recibió educación formal, pero mostró siempre una aptitud especial para liderar con inteligencia a sus hermanos indígenas, lo que le valió la persecución de las fuerzas represivas guatemaltecas y el exilio en Mexico, a partir de 1980. Antes de partir, muchos miembros de su propia familia, incluida su madre, fueron torturados, violados y asesinados por los militares. Y a en el extranjero, dedicó su vida a la defensa y promoción de los derechos y los valores de los pueblos indígenas de América. Publicó un libro -Yo, Rigoberta Menchu- describiendo su lucha, y en 1992 recibió el Premio Nobel de la Paz por sus continuados esfuerzos en pro de sus hermanos sometidos. Rigoberta es la primera mujer de raza indígena que recibe este lauro. L as Naciones Unidas la nombraron Embajadora de Buena Voluntad en el Año Internacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (1993), y es asesora personal del Director General de la Unesco y presidente de la Iniciativa Indígena para la Paz.

When she was young, a couple of her siblings and friends died because of unsafe labor conditions and extreme poverty. Because of this, Rigoberta never had a formal education. When she was just eight years old, she worked with her family as a migrant agricultural laborer on large coastal farms. After that, she worked in Guatemala City as a maid. Soon, Rigoberta began to protest against human-rights abuses by the military. However, this put her life in danger and in 1981, she went into exile in Mexico to hide from the Guatemalan authorities that were hunting her down. Her mother, father, and brother had been murdered, but she escaped. In Mexico, she spoke on the cruel treatment of the indigenous people in Guatemala, hoping she could make a difference. In 1983, Rigoberta published Me Llamo Rigoberta Mencho Y Asi Nacio La Concienca , later translated into English and titled I, Rigoberta Menchu

Interview with Rigoberta Menchu Tum Five Hundred Years of Sacrifice Before Alien Gods 1992 Interview with Rigoberta Menchu Tum, Mayan refugee from Guatemala, shortly before she received the Nobel Peace Prize; by Commission for Human Rights in Central America "For me, to celebrate the twelfth of October is the absolute expression of triumphism, occupation and presumptuousness, and I think that history will remember those that celebrate it. "The struggle of the indigenous did not begin in 1992, and it will not end in 1992; it is simply an occasion to take advantage of the international attention. "We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism. "It is said that our indigenous ancestors, Mayas and Aztecs, made human sacrifices to their gods. It occurs to me to ask: How many humans have been sacrificed to the gods of Capital in the last five hundred years?" The Guatemalan indigenous woman, Rigoberta Menchu, lowers her eyes and continues, pausing often, in the same ironic tone: "Today the governments of Latin America should be ashamed of not having exterminated the indigenous, at the end of the twentieth century, because we exist at the end of this century. We are not myths of the past, ruins in the jungle, or zoos. We are people and we want to be respected, not to be victims of intolerance and racism."

Produced, directed (and translated from the original Spanish) by Michael O'Callaghan BACKGROUND After fleeing the violence of her native country, she became an eloquent defender of indigenous peoples and other victims of government oppression around the world. She left Guatemala after her father, her mother and a brother were killed by its Government soldiers. Her 16-year-old brother Petrocinio was kidnapped, tortured and burned alive in 1979. When her mother demanded an explanation, Government soldiers abducted her mother, raped her repeatedly, cut off her ears, tortured and mutilated her, and left her to be consumed by maggots, vultures, and dogs. Her father was killed when the Spanish Embassy in Guatemala City, in which he and other leaders of the country's main peasant opposition group had protested human rights violations, was set on fire.

Rigoberta Menchú Tum (1959- ), Guatemala. Nobel Peace Prize Rigoberta Menchu, a Guatemalan activist for the rights of the indigenous people and a winner of Nobel Peace Prize, was born in 1959 in a small Guatemalan village of Chimel located in the northern highlands. Her family was Quiche Indian and very poor. The small plot of land that the family owned did not produce enough to feed everyone. Like their neighbors, who were in the same predicament, they traveled to the coast to work as laborers on large coffee or cotton plantations, working up to fifteen hours a day for eight months a year. Life on a plantation was harsh. People lived in crowded sheds with no clean water or toilets. Children had to start working at an early age or else they were not fed. Rigoberta started working on the plantation at the age of eight. She did not have an opportunity to attend school. Two of her brothers died on the plantation, one as a result of poisoning from pesticides sprayed on coffee plants and another from malnutrition. Native Indians in Guatemala had no rights of citizenship, which were restricted to people of Spanish descent and were, therefore, vulnerable to abuses by those in power. When the military-led government and the wealthy plantation owners started taking Indian-occupied lands by force, Rigoberta's father, Vincente, became a leader in the peasant movement opposing this action. He began a series of petitions and then, protests, to secure these lands for the indigenous people who had been living on them until now. He was arrested and imprisoned many times for his activities.

Rigoberta Menchú From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. (Redirected from Rigoberta Menchu Tum Rigoberta Menchú Tum (born in Chimel Guatemala January 9 ) was the recipient of the 1992 Nobel Peace Prize , given "in recognition of her work for social justice and ethno-cultural reconciliation based on respect for the rights of indigenous peoples". Her prize is based in part on her 1987 autobiography I, Rigoberta Menchú . Detractors claim that the book contains many fabrications (see journalistic fraud for details of these allegations) . Her defenders claim that any dishonesties are offset by the overarching importance of her tale of U.S. -funded Guatemalan suppression of the Indian people. Menchu states that she began migrant farm work at age 5 under conditions that killed siblings and friends. As an adult, she joined family members in action against military for its human rights abuses. Violence forced her exile in 1981. In she participated in the ongoing preparation by the United Nations of a declaration of the rights of indigenous people. She is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador . She returned to Guatemala to work for change. She has been seeking to have Guatemala's ex-military dictator and current presidential candidate Efraín Ríos Montt tried in Spanish courts in for crimes committed against Spanish citizens.

Friedensnobelpreis 1992 Geboren 1959 in Chimel / Guatemala Kurzbiographie Literatur Links Kurzbiografie Dort brachte sie sich selbst die spanische Sprache bei - vorher sprach sie nur die Sprache der Maya-Nachfahren. Bald darauf schrieb Rigoberta Menchú ihr erstes Buch mit dem Titel "Ich, Rigoberta Menchú", das sie in Kirchenkellern und Wohnzimmern vorstellte und den Menschen so die Verbrechen in Guatemala, die alle einfach ignorierten, nahe brachte. Sie sah diese Auszeichnung als Anerkennung für die gemeinsamen Bemühungen der Eingeborenen. Ebenso ist die Auszeichnung ein Zeichen der Anerkennung für die Opfer von Unterdrückung, Gewalt, Rassismus und Armut und auch ein Zeichen der Huldigung für indianische Frauen. Rigoberta Menchú beteiligte sich aktiv an politischen Dingen, half Menschrechtsgruppen und engagierte sich für Gleichberechtigung von Eingeborenen. 1983 veröffentlichte sie erneut ein Buch, " Eine indianische Frau in Guatemala". Diesem folgten noch zahlreiche verschiedenen Texte und Gedichte. Sie wurde jedoch von dem Anthropologen David Stoll in einem Buch mit dem Titel "Rigoberta Menchú und die Geschichte aller armen Guatemalteken" beschuldigt, nicht immer die Wahrheit über sich selber gesagt zu haben. Stoll wird dabei sogar von einigen großen Zeitungen Nord-Amerikas unterstützt. Er behauptet z.B., dass sie doch eine Schule besucht habe und ihr Bruder gar nicht umgebracht worden sei, sondern schon vor ihrer Geburt gestorben sei. Es gibt aber viele, die Rigoberta Menchú verteidigen und unterstützen, während andere sie als Lügnerin bezeichnen.
