A: Publishing El vuelo de los gansos [The Gooses’ Flight], a Photo: Nuria Zayas/Progressio manual about sexual rights and HIV for leaders of gay and lesbian organisations.

Q: And the biggest lesson? A: By working with the Honduran Positive Women’s Network, I have reinforced the idea that no matter what a person endures or experiences, one should always make the most of life. For these women, living with HIV is not the only problem, nor the most important. And despite such an adverse environment, they are happy and optimistic.

Q: What is the biggest development challenge? A: Education, without a shadow of doubt, as education empowers people to take control of their lives. Education to respect diversity is pivotal as a means to prevent violence.

Q: If you could change one thing what would it be? A: I would transform mindsets so that women get to recognise themselves as sexual and free human beings, entitled to respect and dignity.
