Central America is one of the most dangerous places in the world for women.  Women are being brutally tortured, raped, and murdered--with virtual impunity. And the violence is escalating.

​

• Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras have the most femicides in the Western Hemisphere.

• Impunity is the rule, with 98% of cases never resolved.

• The women's bodies frequently reveal torture, mutilation, and sexual violence.

• Domestic violence is rampant.

• Suicide of victims of domestic violence is rising.

​

Thousands of women from Central America have fled to Mexico and the United States. They need your support!
