Sunsets: remind us that our true colours, true strength, show when the day is dark. As the sun sets today, I can feel its promise for new victories, new opportunities, new breath tomorrow. Blessed be. https://www.instagram.com/p/BxJEF2IFOkC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f92k1e552tgf

Feeling humbled and honoured to have been elected Secretary of the Human Rights Commission of Belize. I am incredibly happy that Caleb is HRCB’s newest Treasurer, and another phenomenal soul Yaya Marin as trustee. Looking forward to the growth, the progress and experience of our time of service to this very important organisation. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwyfU3GFGRm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1reoozms2ipwr

When Family court clerks take forever to process child support payments, are unapproachable, disrespectful to the vulnerable women traumatized and often times violates with violence. Generational human rights violations by a system that is uniformed, corrupt and lackadaisical. Despite the circumstances, there is hope and chance for change in every child. #belizefamilycourtneedsrevamping #belizefamilylaws #humanrights @humanrightswatch https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwvmzt9FadO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1eloifmrw3g1r

As a woman who has engaged in sex work free from coercion, threat, violence or force, I cannot imagine the pain and trauma that victims and survivors of human trafficking experience. What I do to combat human trafficking as a sex worker who LIVES the difference between the two, is to advocate for the Human Rights of both victims of human trafficking and survival sex workers. So the next time we find ourselves at a border town in Belize, enjoying that contraband beer - ask ourselves“does human trafficking happen here?” And “what can I do to help victims of human trafficking?” #atipsbelize #tikkunolam #tikkunolambelize #belizehumanrights https://www.instagram.com/p/BwOeW9fl4CF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ws43erkubpng

I don’t know who Jeff is. I don’t know whose house or sign that is. I do know that whoever wrote those words is one of many people who suffer deeply from the broken and dysfunctional legal, judicial systems of Belize. Corruption tramples conviction rates and ushers in generational poverty and trauma for them to feast on the suffering of the poor and vulnerable. Belize is such a beautiful place and has such magical potential as a country. Here’s to hoping that Belizeans arm themselves with knowledge, compassion, respect and responsibility for rule of law and environmental conscious ness. Only the people’s power can save the nation. #belize #belizehumanrightsdefender#victimsrightsbelize https://www.instagram.com/p/BvdiFEUFpsU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p23xdjm4g90u
