Association for a More Just Society

ASJ, or la Asociación para una Sociedad Más Justa (which translates to the Association for a More Just Society in English)

The Association for a More Just Society (ASJ, or La Asociación para una Sociedad más Justa in Spanish) is a non-governmental organization working on human rights and government transparency in Honduras, where it serves as Transparency International's local chapter. Since its founding in Honduras in 1998, ASJ has promoted peace and justice in Honduras by advocating for government systems that work for the most vulnerable members of society.

ASJ's work is done through three sister organizations, which work together towards justice in Honduras:

  • ASJ-Honduras, a Honduran civil society organization working on justice initiatives, human rights, and government transparency in Honduras and serving as Transparency International's local chapter.
  • ASJ-US (formerly known as AJS), a 501(c)(3) organization based in the U.S. which supports ASJ's work in Honduras and shares this vision of transformation with people around the world.
  • ASJ-Canada, a Canadian organization that supports ASJ's work in Honduras and seeks solidarity with and justice for marginalized communities.
