Honduras

In preparation of Honduras’ Universal Periodic Review (UPR) which took place in May 2020, PBI Honduras published a report with testimonials highlighting the specific risks and violence faced by women defenders of land, territory and the environment and demonstrate the need for a differentiated response by the Honduran State to protect them.

To mark world press freedom day 2019 - Honduran journalist and human rights defender Dina Meza talks to PBI about media freedom and the work of independent journalists in Honduras.

Since 2015, PBI has been supporting activists from Arcoíris LGTB Association of Honduras, and has witnessed first hand the risks and intimidation that their Human Rights Defenders suffer as a result of their work. Despite the risks they face, Arcoíris has been committed to empowering, informing and challenging discrimination and stigmatisation against the LGBTI+ community in the most dangerous country in Central America for members of the gay and lesbian community.
