OFRANEH
Since 1998, Rights Action has supported OFRANEH (Fraternal organization of Black peoples of Honduras) is - along with COPINH - a leading community defense organization struggling in defense of land, the environment, indigenous rights and a fair and just “development” model. Like COPINH, OFRANEH is leading the struggle against the military-backed, ‘open-for-global-business’, undemocratic and corrupt Honduran regime.
