On November 28, almost 70% of Hondurans eligible to vote went to the polls and elected Xiomara Castro as their next President. The victory represents a slam dunk win for the LIBRE party but also for the Honduran people, who voted in masses to end the 12-year U.S.-backed narco-dictatorship. Host Karen Spring interviews Honduran women in the social movement and human rights organizations about their responses to Xiomara's victory. She gives an overview of election celebrations, the results of the Congressional level, and outlines some of the difficulties facing the new government that takes power on January 27, 2022.
