The Peace Brigades International-Honduras Project has posted on social media:
“’Commemorating the International Day Against #LGBTIphobia [on May 17] means remembering that challenges still exist, but also that together—women, men, and everyone in between—we continue to build a more inclusive, humane, and loving world,’ says the @arcoirishn [Rainbow] association.
Various diversity groups marched from Central Park to Congress to demand compliance with the Inter-American Court of Human Rights rulings regarding Vicky Hernandez [who was killed most likely by security forces on the night of the coup in Honduras in June 2009] and Leonela Zelaya [who was killed most likely by the police in September 2004] and to raise awareness of the violence faced by the community.
According to various statistics, there have been nearly twenty violent deaths [in Honduras] so far in 2026 alone, nine of them of trans women.
The march, accompanied by PBI, included the Center for Development and Cooperation LGBTI (Somos CDC), Muñecas de Arcoíris [Rainbow Dolls], the Association of Lesbian and Bisexual Women (LITOS), and, and the Honduran Committee on Sexual Diversity, among others.
