A community garden is empowering Garífuna women in Honduras. Created by the community-based Asociación de Mujeres Garífuna Mixta, or ASOMUGAMIX, it is a space for Garifuna women to organize and unite. It is receiving support from CARI Honduras, a program by the USAID/Office of Transition Initiatives.

«Quand nous avons commencé, women normalized everything. And now, they’re waking up,” says Arely Ibeth Barahona Martinez ASOMUGAMIX of San Pedro Sula, Honduras. “I was a victim. Thank God I’m a survivor and I’m telling the story. But I feel that through our association, there are so many women who are getting out of that cycle and are asking for help.”
