Honduran women continue their resistance to the de facto regime that kidnapped and ousted the democratically elected president in a coup d'état on June 28, 2009. In August an international delegation organized by JASS and allied organizations traveled to Honduras and accompanied Honduran Feminists in Resistance, an alliance of feminists and womens organizations, on a mission to increase awareness of the impact of the crisis on women.

"Women have walked this country from end to end, raising consciousness about what is happening and connecting women and movements. Like the "grandmother", an old woman who, in El Paraíso, took a megaphone and for 18 hours straight stood in front of the military and told stories and parables. Or the young women who challenge the military head-on, pushing their bayonets out of the way so that they don't use them on anyone again.... those women who have been raped, verbally and emotionally tortured, the political prisoners... those women who refuse to stop honoring life through their actions." ~ María Suárez, Radio Feminista
