In 2022 alone, Honduran public records showed that 3,093 women were victims of femicides — the killing of a woman because of her gender. Yet 90% of femicides go unpunished. In the face of this abuse, IJM and partners launched a new project in Honduras with support from our offices in El Salvador and Guatemala. This project aims to build capacity to serve victims and survivors of violence, ensuring that Honduras can become a place where women and children can expect to be safe and protected. In November 2023, 80 women and girls from Intibucá, a rural region in Honduras gathered for a groundbreaking forum to discuss the obstacles they face as they seek protection and propose solutions to ease their access to justice and restoration services. 🌷 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eDWwaau5

When a minor receives a photo or video of a nude online from someone they believe to be an adult, only 6% reach out to a trusted adult or caregiver for help*. As the internet becomes more integrated into every facet of our lives, children are being exposed to the digital world at an increasingly younger age. Criminals target children because they know minors are often easily deceived and don't understand the potential danger behind a screen. We can help equip our children to stay safe online. This Internet Safety Month, we've compiled a list of tips, resources and tools you can use to better protect kids and ensure their safety online. Go to ijm.org/safeonline to read our recommended tips to keep kids safe online. *Thorn, Responding to Online Threats: Minors’ Perspectives on Disclosing, Reporting, and Blocking, 2019
