FEMICIDE IN HONDURAS

Honduras is one of the world's deadliest places to be a woman.

Where in some countries,the birth of a girl child is a cause for celebration but it is the opposite in such an inhumane county.

According to a UN report, Honduras has the world's highest homicide rate, with 90.4 people murdered per 100,000 of the population.

Someone is always trying to kill You just for being the opposite gender.

Dead bodies of females found like a normal routine in the streets.

According to statistics, a female is killed one every 23 hours in Honduras. This shows the extent to femicide and killing without regard. Cutting of body parts and peeling skins like vegetables.

Honestly,I can't imagine what families must be going through there.

Many women in Honduras live each day in fear of being attacked and it’s one of the reasons thousands of women have fled that country for the United States.

The organisations say out of 463 women murdered last year, only 15 cases were investigated. This pain and injustice lingers until this day with most of the crimes going unpunished.

Femicide in Honduras is a concept referring to murders committed against women in Honduras since 1990. According to the Penal Code in force until 2018, the crime of femicide is defined as a man or men killing a woman for reasons of gender, with hatred and contempt for her condition as a woman.

Why kill some for a reason of gender??

This brutality hurts my heart as a female. Aren't this men given birth to by women? Why hurt us for no reason?

This case still baffles me to think people can be so heartless..

Women in Honduras face high levels of gender-based violence. The country has the second-highest rate of femicide—defined as the killing of a woman by a man because of her gender.

A woman is killed every 23 hours on average. In 2018, the last year for which statistics are available, 60 percent of perpetrators were domestic partners.

Abortion is illegal in Honduras in all circumstances. Women and girls who terminate pregnancies face prison sentences of up to six years. The law also sanctions abortion providers.

Honduras is so messed up that even a rape victim cannot abort a pregnancy due to violence. This is sadistic!. Yet the economy is really poor.

The government bans emergency contraception, known as the “morning after pill,” which can prevent pregnancy after rape, unprotected sex, or contraceptive failure.

This is such a psychopathic torturous country. It is even Scary to close both eyes while asleep as a woman for fear of being killed .

Not having any certainty of your own life is so disheartening.

Which leads me to think

What is wrong with men?

What has this females done wrong?

Why so much hatred and pain?

I couldn't stop my tears as I watched parents crying for their children.

Hoping the dead bodies found weren't theirs.

Staring at the hopelessness in the women's eyes ,you could only imagine what they're going through.

But despite all of these happening, no one is being helped...the government are hardly doing a thing.

It hurts so much to Know that females are being killed just for their gender.

Her name was Ashley, one of the victims. She was only 14 years old

After a few weeks the police stopped investigation as usual.  Leaving the country to protect it's self.

Fortunately, a group of women created a group in 1992 called MOMUCLAA which has been actively working to combat femicide till today.

Thinking of these young ladies, unopportuned to dream big..or even imagine good things for themselves.

It's really tragic.

If you look closely at this, you'd know that you have everything to be grateful for as a woman.

I just felt that we all need this awareness..

To know that our sisters, women innocent lives are been wasted all for nothing.

I hope we all take a moment to say a silent prayer for these victims and the ones who lost their lives.

PRAY FOR HONDURAS...
