Funding & supporting human rights, justice, democracy, land & environment defense work & struggles in Guatemala & Honduras
Since 1995, Rights Action has been working (mainly) in Honduras and Guatemala, funding and supporting justice struggles for war crimes and human rights violations; land, environment and human rights defense struggles that are resisting harms and violence caused by different sectors of the global economy: mining and hydro-electric dams; for-export production of African palm, sugarcane, bananas; the tourism industry and ‘sweatshop’ garment factories. At the same time, Rights Action works to document and denounce political, economic and military interventions in Central America (particularly Guatemala and Honduras) of the U.S. and Canada and other ‘global north’ countries and actors.
