“I think it is very important to raise the voice of how art can transform a society. For me, film is a means of capturing, explaining, and raising awareness of the many problems that exist in Central America.”

I had the honor of speaking on a panel on behalf of the Honduran Female Filmmakers Collective for the “Impacto Violeta” event. In front of deputies, secretarial authorities, authorities from international organizations and women leaders from various organizations and associations that help prevent violence against women and children in Honduras.
I was asked to highlight the achievements we made together with more than 15 members of the HFFC in the project “Transforming Imaginaries”. They asked me to talk about how cinema can be a tool for social transformation and help prevent violence against women and girls in the country. This project was carried out between 2020/2021 with Glasswing Honduras and Iconic Women where we benefited more than 100 young people nationwide with a film school. The young people made short films with themes of women's rights, violence and femicide.

Together with Jessica Guifarro and Nohely Floritza Barahona we represented the Honduran Female Filmmakers Collective at the Violet Impact event held by Spotlight Initiative. We shared with incredible women who carry out beautiful projects in their communities to prevent gender violence in Honduras. It was inspiring to meet them.
HFFC presented the results of the project “Transforming Imaginaries” that we carried out in 2020/2021 where we benefited more than 100 children nationwide with a film school with a focus on prevention in violence against women and children.
