Instead. the Honduran Government needs to clean up and strengthen civilian police and the Attorney Generals Office. My trip to Honduras was both challenging and inspiring. I saw troubling problems of poverty and violence. heard painful stories about migrant abuses and disappearances. and saw major problems in the area of human rights and the protection of human rights defenders and activists. But I also saw hope. I met with young people who dream of bright futures for themselves in Honduras. with student and youth leaders who are campaigning selflessly and courageously to build mechanisms to tackle corruption. and with LGBT activists. human rights defenders. and journalists who are standing up to threats.
