Absolutely. Thank you for raising that.
This is a very pressing concern. With regard to domestic violence, Latin America has one of the highest levels of violence against women in the world. Often, when women are fleeing, even in this migrant caravan coming from Honduras, a number of women are fleeing domestic violence as well.
It's very important to keep that gendered lens as we look at why people are leaving, at the multiple reasons people are leaving. It could be gendered violence combined with climate change, situations of instability, corruption, or lack of access to justice mechanisms or institutions that may be weakened. It may not be possible to access protection within their own country, especially in areas where women may face higher discrimination as well, or where it's not culturally acceptable in the same way to denounce domestic violence.
