"Amendments to Article 219 of the Honduran penal code, which went into effect in November 2021, criminalized sex and labor trafficking and increased penalties from five to eight years’ imprisonment to ten to 15 years’ imprisonment. These penalties were sufficiently stringent and, with respect to sex trafficking, commensurate with those prescribed for other serious crimes, such as rape. However, the 2021 amendments included a definition of trafficking that was inconsistent with international law, as the law established the use of force, fraud, or coercion as aggravating factors rather than essential elements of the crime."

"'Honduran women, I will not fail you, I will defend your rights, all your rights, count on me,' said Castro, whose resounding election victory ended a dozen years of conservative rule and generated high hopes for change in a country with one of the highest rates of femicide and most restrictive laws against reproductive rights in Latin America" (para 2). "Their main grievance was the failure to fulfil a campaign promise to legalise emergency contraceptives without restrictions" (para 6). "Honduras is the only country in Latin America with absolute bans on abortion and emergency contraceptives. A recent proposal to legalise emergency contraceptives in cases of rape sparked indignation" (para 7)....more

"That perception has been fed not only by Castro’s apparent reluctance to be in the spotlight, but also by the machismo and patriarchal bias that permeates society, and – as several feminists suggested – her own family too. 'If there’s one thing that perpetuates the patriarchy from the seat of power, it’s Mel Zelaya,' said Jessica Sánchez, referring to Castro’s husband, the former president ousted by a military coup in 2009" (para 15-16).

"More complicated is the issue of femicide, which preliminary data shows continues at a slightly reduced rate under Castro’s government compared with last year. Two bills aimed at combatting violence against women have so far stalled in Congress" (para 11).
