Problems in Honduras Today | Justice & Solutions
Honduras faces urgent and complex challenges that affect millions of lives. Corruption undermines public institutions, gang violence threatens communities, and widespread poverty limits opportunity. The public education system remains underfunded, and human rights defenders often face threats for speaking out.
The Association for a More Just Society (ASJ) works to address these systemic issues through legal reform, policy advocacy, and faith-based action. By partnering with communities and holding government institutions accountable, ASJ helps build a more just and transparent society.
Whether you are learning about Honduras for the first time or seeking ways to make a difference, understanding these problems is the first step toward meaningful change.
