Latin America epitomizes this trend as three of the world’s most dangerous cities, Ciudad Juárez, San Pedro Sula, and Caracas, are located within this region (JÁCOME; GRATIUS, 2011, p. 2). Of these three, Caracas is notable because its exorbitant homicide rate cannot be explicitly attributed to the illicit drug trade-cartel wars that consume Mexico, nor is it represented by the civil conlict-gang violence that aflicts Central America.

  • LIFE and WORK in the BANANA FINCAS of the NORTH COAST of HONDURAS, 1944-1957 a Dissertation
    CAMPEÑAS, CAMPEÑOS Y COMPAÑEROS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda January 2011 © 2011 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda CAMPEÑAS Y CAMPEÑOS: LIFE AND WORK IN THE BANANA FINCAS OF THE NORTH COAST OF HONDURAS, 1944-1957 Suyapa Gricelda Portillo Villeda, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 On May 1st, 1954 banana workers on the North Coast of Honduras brought the regional economy to a standstill in the biggest labor strike ever to influence Honduras, which invigorated the labor movement and reverberated throughout the country. This dissertation examines the experiences of campeños and campeñas, men and women who lived and worked in the banana fincas (plantations) of the Tela Railroad Company, a subsidiary of the United Fruit Company, and the Standard Fruit Company in the period leading up to the strike of 1954. It describes the lives, work, and relationships of agricultural workers in the North Coast during the period, traces the development of the labor movement, and explores the formation of a banana worker identity and culture that influenced labor and politics at the national level. This study focuses on the years 1944-1957, a period of political reform, growing dissent against the Tiburcio Carías Andino dictatorship, and worker agency and resistance against companies' control over workers and the North Coast banana regions dominated by U.S. companies. Actions and organizing among many unheralded banana finca workers consolidated the powerful general strike and brought about national outcomes in its aftermath, including the state's institution of the labor code and Ministry of Labor.

  • Cure Violence Using a Health Approach
    VIOLENCE IS CONTAGIOUS; WE CAN TREAT AND, ULTIMATELY, CURE VIOLENCE USING A HEALTH APPROACH cureviolence.org I #cureviolence REPORT ON THE CURE VIOLENCE MODEL ADAPTATION IN SAN PEDRO SULA, HONDURAS FreeImages.com/ Benjamin Earwicker FreeImages.com/ Charles Ransford, MPP R. Brent Decker, MSW, MPH Gary Slutkin, MD Cure Violence University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health Abstract: San Pedro Sula, Honduras has had the highest levels of killing of any city around the world for several years. Violence in San Pedro is multi-faceted and has become normalized by those forced to live with it. The Cure Violence model to stopping violence is an epidemic control model that reduces violence by changing norms and behaviors and has been proven effective in the community setting. In 2012, Cure Violence conducted an extensive assessment of the violence in several potential program zones in San Pedro Sula and in April 2013 began implementing an adapted version of the model. In 2014, the first three zones implementing the model experienced a 73% reduction in shootings and killings compared to the same 9-month period in 2013. In the first 5 months of 2015, five program zones experienced an 88% reduction in shootings and killing, including one site that went 17 months without any shootings. November 2016 Violence in Honduras The Americas are the most violent region in the world with an average homicide rate of 28.5 per 100,000 and an estimated 165,617 killing in 2012.1 In total, the Americas account for roughly 36% of global homicides.2 Within this most violent region, violence is most severe in the Northern Triangle of Latin Amer- ica, an area that includes El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

  • 1. Caracteristica Generales Del Municipio 1.1 Breve Reseña Historica Del Municipio
    1. CARACTERISTICA GENERALES DEL MUNICIPIO 1.1 BREVE RESEÑA HISTORICA DEL MUNICIPIO Omoa es un municipio situado al oeste de la ciudad de Puerto Cortes ambos en el departamento de Cortes en la república de Honduras Contiene la Fortaleza san Fernando de Omoa En 15 de julio de 1536 las autoridades españolas localizadas en Guatemala necesitaban un lugar seguro y de fácil acceso para el embarco y desembarco de mercadería entre España y los puntos claves de Centroamérica. Fue por eso que estos salieron en busca de un lugar seguro, el cual lo encontraron en Omoa. Fue así como en 1752, fue fundado el puerto de Omoa bajo el nombre de Camoa, nombre que le duró al municipio hasta 1795, cuando se le dio el nombre actual. Luego de su fundación, Omoa se convirtió en un puerto no solamente seguro y de fácil acceso, pero también muy importante por mucho tiempo de la colonización. Sin embargo, esa importancia se fue perdiendo por un par de razones: La destrucción del municipio en un par de oportunidades por incendios, y finalmente la construcción de Puerto Cortés o Puerto Caballos como era llamada en tiempos coloniales, al este y muy cercano a Omoa. Esto último, terminó por sellar la suerte de Omoa, convirtiéndolo en un pequeño poblado de atracción meramente turístico o de pescadores. En 1779 tropas británicas se apoderaron de la Fortaleza de San Fernando de Omoa. En el siglo XIX también hubo otra toma de la fortaleza a cargo de rebeldes golpistas contra el Estado de Honduras. 1.2 TITULO DE CREACION DEL MUNICIPIO Nombre Oficial del Fecha de Creación Fecha de Registro Municipio OMOA 1752 No existe 1.3 LOCALIZACION GEOGRAFICA Y EXTENSION TERRITORIAL DEL MUNICIPIO Omoa, está localizada frente a las costas de mar Caribe.

    Testtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Country Office Annual Report 2019 Honduras Update on the context and situation of children The political polarisation that has been plaguing the country for years continued to be felt in 2019. Various sectors continue opposing the government, which complicates the ability to govern. This situation exacerbates the institutional fragility affecting the State of Honduras and its capacity to effectively implement development programmes to protect children’s rights. In the economic and social sphere, the recently published Social Panorama of Latin America[1] indicates that the worst incidence of poverty and extreme poverty as of 2018 were found in Mexico, Bolivia and Honduras.[2] This is a rather severe situation as there were no significant changes in poverty levels between 2002 and 2017. Furthermore, in countries such as El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua, more than 70% of the population is composed of households with per capita income less than 1.8 times the poverty line, which means they are at risk of falling into poverty in the face of external factors such as loss of employment[3]. In general, social programmes do not seem to favour conditions for improving the living conditions of Hondurans. For example, there is a decrease in income from non-contributory public transfers that are made by States to alleviate poverty and reduce vulnerability and that generally include conditional transfers[4]. In addition, Honduras is one of the countries in the region that most reduced the central government’s public social spending between 2016 and 2018 (10%)[5] and one of the countries with the lowest per capita resources allocated to financing social policies, with less than USD 230 compared to Chile and Uruguay, which allocated just over USD 2,500 or Costa Rica in the same sub region with 1,209 USD in recent years[6].
