The Guatemalan Ministry of Education (Mineduc Guatemala) used its official social media account on December 2, 2025, to address issues related to sexual violence and inclusivity in education. The posts highlighted both a campaign against sexual violence and an event recognizing International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
In a tweet published at 23:00 UTC, the ministry stated: "¡Hablarlo cambia todo! No tengas miedo de denunciar la violencia sexual #NoMásViolenciaSexual #1510Cuéntalo #Denuncia https://t.co/EyVqsHxnKo". This message encourages victims or witnesses of sexual violence to report incidents without fear.
Later that evening, at 23:09 UTC, Mineduc Guatemala shared details about a ceremony involving top officials and students: "La ministra de Educación, @chatagira, junto al viceministro Administrativo, Donaldo Carias, participaron esta mañana en la investidura de María de los Ángeles Cifuentes Álvarez como Ministra de Educación por un Día, en el marco del Día Internacional de las Personas con https://t.co/FEgTcwaEIj". The tweet notes the participation of Minister Chatagira and Vice Minister Donaldo Carias in appointing María de los Ángeles Cifuentes Álvarez as "Minister of Education for a Day," marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities—a global observance promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities.
A subsequent post at 23:11 UTC included only a link: "https://t.co/539aDa4o7P".
These communications are part of ongoing efforts by Guatemalan authorities to foster safer educational environments and recognize diversity within schools. The campaign against sexual violence reflects broader regional initiatives aimed at supporting survivors and encouraging public reporting. Meanwhile, events such as "Minister for a Day" highlight attempts to increase visibility for people with disabilities in leadership roles during international awareness days.
