To Xiomara Castro, president of Honduras:

As citizens from across the world, we salute your election as the first female president of Honduras and encourage you to do everything in your power to improve the access to reproductive rights for women in Latin America. Your biggest legacy will be to bring dignity, respect and security for women, and the first step towards this is to legalize emergency contraception in Honduras. Women, girls and victims of rape, are counting on you.

Help rape victims
Maria was just 12-years-old when she was raped by two of her relatives.

She lives in Honduras - the only country in Latin America to ban emergency contraception - and was forced into becoming a mum to avoid jail.

No one should have to go through this. But right now we have an unprecedented opportunity to help usher in a new era for Honduras' women and girls!

Honduras' first woman president has just been sworn in and promised to repeal this cruel ban on the morning after pill. But she is facing a huge backlash and needs global support to stand with girls like Maria.

So let's show her the world backs her decision to do the right thing. When 1 million sign, we'll deliver our global call directly to the president and send messages of support via Honduras Embassies across the world. Sign now to stand with Maria and women across Honduras!
