Gender Equality

Honduras advanced to 51st place from 67th in the World Economic Forum's 2026 Global Gender Gap Index among 145 economies, with a larger jump of 27 positions in economic participation and opportunity.

Honduras inaugurated the UN-backed International Year of Women Farmers 2026 to recognize rural women's role in food production and address gaps in their access to land, credit, and technology, with data showing only 12% own land and 70% lack formal bank credit.

Twenty judges, magistrates, and court staff from eight Honduran cities completed a UN-backed trainer program on gender and intersectionality, now mandatory in the Judicial School curriculum, aimed at aligning the justice system with international human-rights standards.
