5 Rigoberta Menchú always kept in mind the well being of the poor. From the time she was little she fell into the footsteps of her parents who, like many other Central Americans, believed in "Liberation Theology." The ideology behind the phrase is that the Bible should be read for the needs of the poor, and one of Jesus Christ's main reasons for living was his ability to liberate those people. They felt very close to Jesus Christ because he too was treated unfairly, stoned, dragged along the ground, and crucified. This became the core of Rigoberta's work and the foundation of her fight for social justice.
