Joint Statement: Concern about the lack of protection for defenders of LGTBI+ rights in Honduras
In light of LGBTI+ Pride Month, international organizations Front Line Defenders and Peace Brigades International (PBI) express their concern as regards the risks faced by human rights defenders of the LGBTI+ community in Honduras. Both organizations have observed a tendency towards an increase in attacks at times of greater visibility for the LGBTI+ community, such as LGBTI+ Pride Day. Therefore, Front Line Defenders and PBI call for national and international solidarity and support for the protection of those who defend the rights of sexual diversity.
