The Center for Reproductive Rights and the Centro de Derechos de Mujeres (CDM) are challenging Honduras’s total abortion ban in a case presented in April before the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Committee. The case involves Fausia, an indigenous Honduran woman and human rights defender of the Nahua People, who survived sexual violence and was forced to give birth after being denied emergency contraception and abortion care due to the country’s total ban on abortion.
