Mujeres denuncian amenazas y agresiones pese a ganar espacios en el poder

On the program "Political Day," the political participation of women in Honduras was discussed. The guests analyzed the current situation of the sector following the recent elections, noting that representation percentages remain stagnant at just 21% for female members of Congress and 7% for female mayors. During the debate, it was denounced that women face persistent political violence, which ranges from digital attacks and threats during campaigns to disqualifications, humiliations, and even direct physical assaults within the National Congress once they assume office. The panelists urged the approval of specific legislation such as the Law on Political Violence, the Purple Alert Law for Missing Women, and the creation of shelters for the prevention and restoration of rights in the face of the increase and brutality of femicides. They also questioned the actions of justice system officials and the National Police due to a lack of credibility and the intimidation of victims of domestic and sexual violence in the country. #PoliticalParticipation #WomenOfHonduras #NationalCongress Find more programs on #TVCPLAY by visiting https://www.televicentro.com/tvcplay Copyright © 2026 Televicentro
