Honduran women demand equal access to employment and credit

In Honduras, women and representatives of social and political organizations denounce the lack of programs to promote employment among this segment of the population. More than 400,000 women are unemployed and peasant women account for only 9% of total credits. Studies by feminist organizations reveal that 32% of Honduran households are headed by women and, according to a report from the National Statistics Institute, there are currently more than 600,000 women underemployed in the informal economy. teleSUR.
