Rights: 

The Centre for LGBTI Development and Cooperations (Centro para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación LGBTI) is a non-governmental organization founded in 2007 with commitment and experience in the development of programmes and projects focused on improving the quality of life of LGTBI people and other groups in vulnerable situations (women, girls, adolescents, youth, indigenous people, afro-descendants, migrants, PVIH, disabled people, human rights defenders, elderly people, among others) through the empowerment of their human rights and the integral individual and collective development.

Human rights defenders suffer extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment as well as judicial harassment, threats and stigmatisation. Journalists, lawyers, prosecutors, those defending the rights of women, children, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community, indigenous and Afro-Honduran communities, and those working on environmental and land rights issues are particularly at risk.
