Honduras: 18% rise in violent deaths of minors amid policy gaps

COIPRODEN reports an 18% increase in violent deaths of minors in Honduras, attributing the rise to inconsistent implementation and lack of continuity in child protection policies across successive governments. The claim is based on Violence Observatory data; the underlying causes and policy failures are asserted by the NGO, not independently verified. This highlights a systemic protection gap in a country with high violence levels.
