Oxfam claims that women are being murdered in Honduras at about one per day...while the police act with 'systematic indifference'.
Femicide is the second biggest cause of death for women of reproductive age there...with more than 2,000 women killed in the past five years.
"Since the coup in July 2009, we've seen a sharp rise in gender-based killings, with many of these crimes simply going unreported," says Maritza Gallardo of Oxfam Honduras. "We don't even really know just how many women are being killed because families of victims are afraid to report violence and murders because they realise the legal system gives impunity to those responsible for the killings."
