Honduras - January 22, 2025 The murder of more than 600 children and young people, some of whom were even dismembered, during 2024 in Honduras demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the current strategy to address violence against this population, experts warned this Wednesday, calling for greater investment in their protection. (Camera: Daniel Espinoza.) STATEMENTS BY ANA CALDERÓN, REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RED DE INSTITUCIONES POR LOS DERECHOS DE LA NIÑEZ (COIPRODEN): That there is a high incidence of deaths of children, adolescents and young people who lost their lives due to violence. This reflects that there are weaknesses in the system. It also reflects the need to consolidate a National Protection System and local protection systems. It also reflects the need to review all the strategies that are being implemented to prevent violence. It is also necessary to consider the establishment of a monitoring and follow-up mechanism for the various public policies Honduras has in place for children and adolescents.
