Meet Gilda Rivera, Honduras
Her work with the Women’s Rights Centre focuses on the specific challenges that the post-coup d’etat political and cultural milieu poses for Honduran women. Gilda states that it is the “violence in and militarization of Honduran society [which] creates an environment that fosters all types of violations of women's human rights.” Gilda was a participant in the Nobel Women’s Initiative 2010 International Gender Justice Dialogue event.
