When did your justice journey start?

As a social worker, I have always felt called to work with people living in the most vulnerable conditions. Before joining the ASJ team, I worked in education for 5 years. I met a lot of children and adolescents who were living in difficult family situations. As educators, we sought out ASJ’s help, especially when we needed to report childhood sexual abuse.

What does justice sound like to you?

To me, justice sounds like waves crashing on the shore, the stillness and peace that comes with that.

What is your hope for justice in your context? 

My biggest hope is that we can decrease the rates of violence and sexual abuse in our community. I hope that more cases can be reported and brought to justice in my community of Nueva Suyapa and throughout the rest of the country.
