Being Honduran and having to escape that from a young age kills me. I’ve been here for 15 years and everytime I think about Honduras all I recall is seeing my teachers dead body in front of us. Hearing the gun shots. While we cried. No mercy on the children. I was 6. The killers didn’t care. I pray for our country but I know it will never get better.

The chills that run through you when you see children playing and nonchalantly with a smile saying they've seen 30 dead bodies....

I have a lot of respect for these journalists that knowingly put themselves in risky situations just to get the word out to the world ❤

Two of my coworkers are sisters who escaped from Honduras. They were raised by a father who abused and raped them, witnessed multiple murders a day, and had family members who refused to answer their cries for help or food. I'm so glad they were able to come here and have a safer, happier life.

I know America isn't perfect but it's things like these that make me grateful to live in the U.S

15yrs in prison?!?! Thats great but not enough. He should have been given however long it takes for her damn feet to grow back!!

For a 8-9 year old kid to say he's seen like 30 dead bodies with a smile on his face like it's a completely normal thing.... Damn that's really messed up

The tears couldn't stop for the lady who lost her legs at the hands of her husband. Where's the f**king justice? The authorities there are criminals too. My heart goes out to these women. 💞

Seeing Maria's mother crying on her casket shattered my heart. It's awful that these women are going through this.

The abused/abusive male ego can quite often be what's most dangerous and deadly.

Los hombres no nos merecen, dicen que "nos aman", pero nos tratan tan irrespetuosamente incluso después de que somos la razón por la que están aquí en el mundo 💔

this makes me so furious and sad and speechless and even tho I have never lived in Honduras and never experienced any fem!cide crimes were I live, I feel scared of being a woman and we don't deserve this, no woman should ever go through this. To every woman young or older please stay safe lots of love and power

Damn the lady that lost her legs broke my heart dawg💔

Now that is what I call toxic masculinity.

This makes a lot of sense now. I was adopted at three months old in 1982 by the best American couple ever, but from what I know about my birth parents is that my father was Costa Rican and my mother was Honduran. They had an affair in Honduras and she got pregnant with me, but because she wasn't married, her own father would disown her if he found out, so she fled to Costa Rica to have me and put me up for adoption.

My condolences goes out to the families that have lost love ones....

THIS is why people come illegally to the US

I’m not in favor of death penalty but I think it’s the only way to stop these offenders.

I was in an abusive relationship for 5 years but nothing compare to what these women went through! I have made a decision that I would not allow any man to beat me. I will fight and defend myself to the end.

I really love how a lady presented this to show that even though things may not be encouraging there is light at the end of the tunnel

I live in Honduras and the abc news is not telling the whole truth about what really happens here and what really happened to miss Honduras, well not only women are assassinated here there's no discrimination when it comes to killings there are teens being killed everyday and no body does anything to stop it, in my town a lot of women have been killed because they get involved with drug dealers that would be the mayor reason women get killed in the city I live, I don't know about other parts of Honduras, what happened to miss Honduras well that's very sad, but her and her sister were hanging out with the wrong people he's sister's boyfriens was a well known drug dealer in Santa Barbara where she was from! I'd like to add that the government is corrupted the government institutions are corrupted and this is a poor country there's not much work opportunities here those factors make everything worse, they said crimes against women don't get prosecuted they say it in a way like women are target here and it is not true, crimes against anyone don't get prosecuted, I would need dozen of pages to explain what is really happening here, hope people reading this can understand my point my grammar is not the best!

I'm blessed to have been protected while I was in Honduras. Especially as a young girl

This is just heart breaking. I feel so bad and sorry for these woman. Father god bless and watch over these woman and children 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

My heart goes out to your family. God bless you.

Only 15 years for cutting someones legs off wtf ??

just imagine all those children witnessing their mother getting whipped, their legs choped, stabed it's traumatizing...and Can even turn children into murderers in the future

How heartbreaking!! Tears in my eyes seeing those bodies on the streets. The lady reporter had bullet proof vest on but nothing to protect her head? That place is plagued with evil!!! Hell on earth

Legends never die! Rip to all of our innocent loved ones 🙏🏼

damn that kid just said I have witnessed 30 dead bodies here on Honduras.wtf

I wonder if those men think of their mothers that way.

Honduras is such a beautiful country 🥺 such beautiful people, a beautiful culture. ❤️ especially beautiful women. I hate how they are being attacked. Why must you attack your beautiful women? Why? Women give you life yet you’re killing them? I really hope women can protect themselves! ❤️🥺

It’s a good thing my mom left houdras since she was 3

I am from Honduras and this breaks my heart. I have had family members who were abused and it definitely is hard to be safe there. My heart goes out for my country.

This is what feminism should be talking about, not man spreading.

as a man who looks up to women as great people this is heartbreaking

My condolencias goes to her family rest peacefully Miss Honduras. Mis condolencias con la familia de Miss Honduras lo siento por su perdida Descanso en Paz Miss Honduras Maria Jose Alvardo💖. No mas violencia

these women are so so so strong

There seems to be so many places that treat women like this. My heart goes out to them!

This is heartbreaking! The world gets more sick by the day. Prayers for these women and for all of us.

This is incredibly heartbreaking and difficult to watch. Why can’t people be better than this. Beautiful place sad there is so much violence

I have seen male brutality against my mother in my house when growing up...it's pathetic.. I have 2 daughters and raise them like to fear nothing and speak up for what is wrong...

Women are flowers, are the most beautiful creatures on earth. A man that hits a woman is a coward and never forget that we men were born from a woman.

Thank you for this vital coverage

These women’s laments echo what I went through while living in my country Honduras. It’s sad. I hope justice not in men but God. Mercy Lord God for the Honduras people. My people.

All women there should be trained and armed!! this is crazy

There's 15 women per 1 man. Women need to gang up against these men and take a stand against violence towards them.

Maria’s death was so impactful in Honduras. May she rest in peace niña preciosa 🤍

...México and Guatemala too...R.I.P. in Heaven very beautiful and unlucky young girl...a thought and a prayer for you and your beloved Family too...from Italy 🇮🇹....in Spanish, desde Italia...💔💔💔💔💔

So their goal is to have no women left in their country??? And those little boys standing by dead bodies, unphased, is disturbing as hell... if they’re desensitized now, they’re likely good candidates for abusing women in the future.

The Brutality against women is unimaginable. They don't tell you of the horror stories they do to these women. This has been going on for nearly forever. These stories will haunt you.

Wow this is straight madness😢 My son lost an auntie about two years ago from here. His father still want talk about his baby sister and the safety of his other sisters.

Truly heartbreaking 🥺

I don't understand why women are treated this way in so many places, and for so long historically. I just don't get it.

justice for all those woman in Honduras

What a sick world we living

Happy mothers day to those beautiful woman and I'm sorry ya'll are going thru so much 😢 you beautiful woman I hope u make it to Texas a lot of good dudes out here

My heart goes out to the victims God bless and be safe

Damn, I'm so ashamed of my own nationality. I'm Hondureño and not a day in my life have i EVER laid a damn hand on a woman. We came out from one and was raised and love by them. I don't understand wtf these bastards do this even. Even my brother are like those guys. But not me. You're no more of a damn man if you beat on one. Screw them...😡😡😡

Heartbreaking 💔

I'm always discouraged by the fact that there are always so few men in the comment section. When they do comment it's usually to say men get abused too you know. It's sad.

They deserve so much better 😕

He killed both sisters???!!!!! Wow the woman who lost her feet just wow no words. Lord I know this is a fallen world I know evil will continue until you come back but I pray for all the people in the world who are in danger please father have mercy on us.

Thank you. God 🙌 bless you for going and listening to them. Protect everyone. We will always ❤️ show kindness. Share what we have. God is willing to share us to his world. Let's be kind and care for other countries

Has part 2 ever been recovered?

Wow this is absolutely heart-breaking. These women bearing all this pain and yet so strong.

Most men in Honduras are the devil step child because only someone with such an evil heart can do something likes especially cutting of your legs, that's crazy I can only imagine the pain she went through smh, all this hatred has to stop especially towards women!!!

I want to give all these women a hug 🥺

This happens all over the world,this hurts my heart so much. May these beautiful souls rest in peace. My mom's cousin got murdered in Mexico for rejecting a man. I hate this world

Insanity.

This is unforgivable!!!

This is heart breaking!

As an Brazilian young man with Honduran ancestry, my heart and my feelings go with all these Honduran women. It makes me cry seeing them so desperate trying to leave Honduras for a better life, fighting every day for their lives and never getting the justice and protection they deserve. My heart goes with Honduras too for being dominated by gangs violence. I have a lot of Honduran cousins, uncles and aunts that still live in Honduras... I fear for them and pray for them and Honduras every day.

“More kisses, less bullets” 💔

Honestly a big thank you for going out there and unmasking the truths. It is very sad to see all of this but also brings awareness.

Sending prayers to you sisters 🙏

watching her limp away literally broke my heart...

I had a best friend from Honduras, I did extensive research on this place and it made me appreciate everything about her, I still do admire her.

I'm honduran I'm 13 I came here when I was 7 and i remember that in those 7 years I spend there I saw about 20 dead bodies and I remember getting use to it.i remember me and my mom would always be one of the first to get there and see what happen . I remember hearing gun shots all the time .if u don't believe me Search CHAMELECON HONDURAS and it would tell u is in San Pedro sula and that is one of the most dangerous parts of Honduras

This needs to be talked about more !!!!

So sad. Honduras is such a beautiful place

This country has no future. Even people from Honduras are saying how bad their country is. Not a single positive comment of Honduras and also I believe this will continue due to the affect on the young children and poor education.

It’s kind of like this in El Salvador too 🇸🇻

This stories just breaks my heart.

It’s the same here in Dominican Republic, I hope to get out of here once I finish university :(

This is absolutely disgusting.....

It's time for a female assassin to deliver some justice!

Hey where can we find the rest? Please post in description box

So very heartbreaking and sad something has to stop this murdering woman bless them all amen

I'm so shocked by this! Every person I have met from Honduras, man or woman have been so amazingly nice and humble. It makes me so sad that women are suffering like this there. I hope the government starts backing these women up and allowing them to live without fear.

What we feminists should really be fighting for

God bless you people of Honduras 🇭🇳 🙏🏽 ❤

God bless all women from my beautiful country 🙏I have broke my heart 😢como quisiera que esta situación se acabara….

We have to raise men to respect and love women. Its 2018 and women are still looked as second class citizens.

Soy panameña and it breaks my heart to see my fellow Latinos in other countries suffering like this. Things need to get better. We are from a beautiful region of the world. It's time beautiful hearts emerge.

I pray that everyone that is endangered to leave there. No matter what. The moment you get some money to leave just go and start over. It hurts my heart to hear anyone being treated wrong. We living in a crazy world and this can happen anywhere. Prayers to victims🙏

THE WHOLE WORLD STANDS WITH YOU WE WILL COME TOGETHER AS ONE SOLID UNIT OF PEOPLE AND FIGHT BACK WHERE WE GO ONE WE GO ALL

I feel for these ladies. God bless them all and may they know peace in their lifetime.

I feel so sad for the woman. They are abused and treated badly. My heart goes out to them. This makes me break down in tears watching this

My dad immigrated from Honduras 13 years ago and left my mom and I when I was two. 7 years later he brought the two of us.. we turned ourselves to immigration and 2 days later I met my dad once again. ICE was incredibly nice to us. They gave us food and they even had a park for kids with many toys. They also gave me snacks. They contacted my dad and in less than 24 hours and so, we were already reunited with him. We all reunited after 7 years. We have our own house, I have my own room and electronic devices that costed hundreds of dollars altogether. This is a life i never expected and I am everyday great full for being here. But most importantly, most great full to have such a responsible dad. He spends so much on us and never complains. He spend thousands to bring us here safely and sound. All my uncles where nice to me on both side of the family but that’s on my grandmas. They where all some strict ladies 😂 I remember both of them beating my uncles/aunts in front of me. and that’s probably why they are like that. Unlike this disgusting men here. I saw this same documentary when it came out 5 years ago and I was confused myself since I never went through any of this. May God be with them.

I feel so heartbroken 💔 for these women😭 please God help them
