Latinas en Poder is organizing our Third Electoral Observation Mission in Honduras
Latinas en Poder is organizing its Electoral Observation Mission for the November 30th Electoral process in Honduras.
Honduran member organizations have played a key role in this organizing process for the past eight months.

The Challenge in Honduras:
Honduras faces significant challenges to its democracy and the full participation of women in the country. These include structural violence, gender-based inequalities, land degradation, climate change, and corporate corruption. Women, particularly from Garífuna, Lenca, Miskito, and rural communities, are disproportionately affected by these issues, which also contribute to migration. Despite progress, such as the country being led by its first female President, the assaults on democratic values and the struggle for sovereignty continue.
Our Work and Impact:
Latinas en Poder has a proven track record of strengthening women's leadership and advocating for their rights. We have conducted two Electoral Observation Missions in recent elections in Guatemala (2023) and El Salvador (2024).
Description
Electoral Observation Mission, Honduras 2025: We are currently planning and organizing our Third Transnational Women's Mission for Electoral Observation in Honduras, scheduled for November 2025. This mission engages 30 to 40 women from various social sectors (jurists, academics, community leaders) to monitor the participation of Honduran women as voters, candidates, and officials.
The Electoral Observation Mission aims to identify and address challenges to their full participation, including violence against women and the LGBTQI+ community, understand the community´s impact due to migrants' deportation, and ensure a fair, transparent, and inclusive electoral process with a gender equality focus.
Our Pledge
Funding for women's organizations globally is often insufficient, with only a small percentage of overall financing reaching these vital groups. Your donation will directly contribute to: Build a Sustainable Future: Contributing to long-term solutions that allow women and girls to live in peace and abundance in their ancestral territories.
Help guarantee transparency and inclusivity in the Honduran electoral process, promoting greater participation of women in decision-making and electoral representation.
Strengthen Women's Leadership: Empowering women leaders through training and dialogue, enabling them to advocate for their rights and transform their communities.
Address Systemic Inequalities: Tackling issues like gender-based violence, economic disempowerment, and the impacts of climate change on women in Honduras
A Call to Action:
Join Latinas en Poder in our commitment to building political power, promoting healing justice, and fostering economic autonomy and sustainability for women in Honduras and across the Americas. Your investment will help us continue our vital work in strengthening democracy and ensuring a more equitable future for all. Your donation directly supports the operation of the Electoral Mission.

Our EXPOMujeres was a resounding success! Over 30% of our members drive community sustainability through social solidarity, feminist-cooperative initiatives, and mutualist economies.

OUR STORY: The Emergence of Latinas en Poder
OUR STORY: The Emergence of Latinas en Poder
Latinas en Poder was born out of our collective concerns for the devastating realities faced by Latina immigrant women during the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing deaths, poverty, and violence against women and girls were central to the conversations we held with Latinas across the United States. From these dialogues, it became clear that we needed to act. We initiated a process to engage and organize Latina organizations in the U.S., creating spaces for collaboration, reflection, and resistance.
A Redefined Strategic Vision Towards Transnationalism
Latinas en Poder established a permanent dialogue on the root causes of migration as a result of Vice President Kamala Harris´s visit to Guatemala in 2021.
(To learn more about this process, please review the Transnational Summit Declaration under the Programs and Vehicles section).
