style="font-weight: bold;">Lorraine Bayard de Volo, a
political scientist who focuses on women's political mobilization and
the history of feminism in Latin America, looks at Cuba's Damas de
Blanco, and how WikiLeaks documents have linked them with the support
of powerful allies, including the U.S. government.

López Levy discusses the centerpiece of U.S policy toward

rights
activist in Honduras. Her organization, COFADEH, was founded in 1982,
