We bring you a special series, “Why We Call It Home.”
While ASJ's office is in the capital city of Tegucigalpa, our 70 staff—lawyers, social workers, policy analysts, researchers, accountants, IT specialists—come from all across Honduras. Their knowledge of and love for their communities fuels their determination to bravely work for justice.
ASJ staff live out the expression, ''perfect love drives out fear.'' Because they want safe communities, they launch initiatives to prevent violence and improve court systems. Because they want their children's schools free from corruption, they campaign for a stronger public education system.
We asked three staff members, Claudia, Hillary, and Winnie, to share what makes their hometowns special. As you get to know their communities and explore the included map, we invite you to join in their hope for a future where everyone experiences peace and justice at
home.

...In a more just and peaceful El Progreso, local communities will have a voice and be actively involved in making decisions that affect their lives. I envision El Progreso as a place where all people can live with dignity and respect and without fear of violence or discrimination; where all communities can thrive together in an environment of harmony and cooperation.

...I am convinced the way to positively impact my community and country is to strengthen the capacities of my Garifuna brothers and sisters and other indigenous groups so that they are empowered and equipped to demand that the government respect human rights.
