Anti-Sexuality Legislation – Honduras has by far the highest incidence of transgender homicides in relation to its population, according to a global assessment. However, transgender people are not the only ones who are at risk. LGBT homicides soared after the deposition of left-wing President Manuel Zelaya in 2009; 215 have occurred since the coup.

In recent years, people have been allowed to kill with impunity, regardless of the victim’s sexual orientation, and Honduras has become the world’s murder capital, with a homicide rate of 60 per 100,000 people. According to research by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, LGBT killings are more likely to go unpunished owing to widespread discriminatory preconceptions among police.
