Honduras: 95% impunity in women's violent deaths weakens preventive justice, Conadeh warns

Honduras' human rights commission (Conadeh) reports that roughly 95% of violent deaths of women go unpunished, calling this an 'alert' that undermines the deterrent effect of justice. The statistic reflects a chronic pattern of impunity in femicide cases, with no indication of a new policy shift. This matters because persistent impunity signals systemic rule-of-law failure, potentially fueling further violence and eroding public trust in state institutions.
