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 rape victims are counting on you.

End the ban against women
Honduras, one of the deadliest countries in the world, is a nightmare for women. 12-year-old girls are forced to keep rape pregnancies, while hundreds of women are abused each year. But things could be about to change.

The first-ever female president, Xiomara Castro, just took office and could be only one signature away from revoking a horrendous ban on emergency contraceptives -- a ban that has trapped desperate women, including survivors of rape, into unwanted and dangerous pregnancies.

Honduras is the only country in Latin America that bans the morning after pill -- but the new president has promised to legalize it, and all she needs is massive public support to make the call. She is under heavy pressure, so let's empower her to deliver on women's rights. Sign now to support a new era for women and girls across Honduras, and on International Women’s Day, Avaaz will deliver our voices directly to the president.


**In solidarity with all the women of the world who have been sexually abused and in collaboration with GEPAE.
