Through this report, PBI aims to bring increased visibility to the specific violence and risks that women defenders of land, territory and the environment face, in order to demonstrate the importance of a differentiated response on the part of the Honduran State. Although no recommendation from the 2015 UPR referred explicitly to the situation of women defenders of ESCR, various recommendations make reference to the need for a specific gender focus in their implementation.
