In June 2018 I will be travelling out to Honduras with the Bristol University Human Rights Brigades to volunteer and provide legal aid for disenfranchised groups of society. Alongside Honduras attorneys, us volunteers will operate a legal clinic and educative workshops on the subject of human rights, to both the children and adults in the society. I have set up this page to try to raise some money towards my flights out to Honduras as it would be such an amazing experience and opportunity to help the brigades in their community work.

Abit more about the global brigades: Global Brigades offers 7-day Human Rights Brigades throughout the year in Honduras Human Rights Brigades primarily work with rural communities that are under-resourced and largely unaware of their own legal rights. Throughout the week, Human Rights Brigades volunteers shadow Honduras lawyers to provide pro-bono legal consulting to rural communities. A free legal clinic provides opportunities for volunteers to not only receive experience with Honduras legal professionals but also experience first-hand the obstacles to justice and the culture of legal misinformation in rural communities. Volunteers also work to provide capacity building and education-based workshops on various legal concepts to empower communities through education. Additionally, volunteers continue shadowing Honduras lawyers while they gather important information to initiate the process of resolving family legal cases, many of which have been stalled in Honduras’ legal system through institutional inefficiencies and the prohibitive high costs of legal services. Between brigades, Global Brigades’ in-country staff works to secure legal outcomes and provide follow-up to the community.
