Honduras records 193 femicides in first nine months of 2026, activist says

Women's rights defender Honorina Rodríguez reports at least 193 violent deaths of women in Honduras during the first nine months of 2026, calling it an emergency. The figure, if accurate, indicates a sustained high rate of gender-based violence, though official corroboration is pending. This underscores systemic impunity and public-safety failures in Honduras.
