Contexto | Honduras is a country with high rates of poverty, violence, social conflict and fragility in its governance and justice system, aggravated by the presence of organized crime, narcotics trafficking, and corruption. The human rights situation has been aggravated by the government’s adoption of a more repressive policy in the face of opposition and public protest, reducing the operating space for civil society. Human rights defenders live in extreme risk due to the constant violence, stigmatization and criminalization to which they are exposed in the face of the installation of extractive industry, and this has also generated social conflict and division in the communities in the affected territories. |
Objetivos | To contribute to strengthening the Rule of Law in Honduras, with emphasis on fulfilment of rights to natural resources and/or freedom of expression, access to justice, and more transparent and participatory public institutions. |
