Executive Director Emeritus, Vida Humana Internacional

"The greatest success that I have had is the founding of an extensive network of  affiliates and collaborators. Those pro-life/family volunteers are self-sacrificing, courageous, hard working heroes. I am honored to serve them in whatever way I can."

Magaly Llaguno is the Executive Director Emeritus for Vida Humana Internacional, HLI's pro-life outreach program for Latin America and the Spanish-speaking world. She is long time pro-life leader, who arrived in the United States from Cuba with refugee status in 1959. HLI Founder Father Paul Marx recognized her unique talents immediately, and since 1984, when he asked her to found an Hispanic division for Human Life International, she has been overseeing this important and predominantly Catholic region of the world with skill and dedication. Magaly has visited 18 countries and speaks English and Spanish fluently.

Magaly is the recipient of the 2011 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “People of Life” Award for her lifetime commitment to the pro-life movement.

Some of Magaly's recent speaking topics are:

• "The Cost of Abortion for Women"
• "Post-abortion Syndrome and Healing"
• "The Activities of the Anti-life Movement ini Latin America", and
• "Domestic Violence and its Connection with Abortion"
