Hostilities against women human rights defenders (WHRDs) take many forms, and are initiated by various state and non-state actors. In this informative report, IM-Defensoras adopts a gender perspective to highlight the experiences of WHRDs on the ground in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua as of 2014. Whilst quantifying the scale and types of violence against WHRDs in the region, it also recognizes their specific and place-based needs of diverse women and their communities.
