Resume

The objective of the intervention is to strengthen democracy and respect for human rights in Honduras by supporting processes leading to empowerment and protagonism of young women and men of Choluteca in the southern part of the country. This will meet demands related to the protection and defence of their rights as legitimate actors before the state, training young people in political advocacy and promoting psychosocial interventions that strengthen physical, mental and emotional well-being of activists and their families. The project will through the civil society organisation CPTRT (with EHAPS - a network of Honduran psychologists) support and accompany the network of youth networks in the municipality of Choluteca (RAJUMCH) and strengthen their capacities in advocacy and psycho-social response and as such strengthen the position of RAJUMCH to achieve the desired impact that provides youth of Choluteca with real opportunities to improve their lives locally.
