Striking out against injustice

We are extending Robert F. Kennedy's legacy to combat violence against women in Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras; fighting for the rights of migrants and their descendants in the Dominican Republic and The Bahamas; and protecting civic space around the region. Our work in the Americas strikes out against injustice and promotes a shared respect for human rights.
