The cemetery in Corazol, Honduras, where Debora Castillo's (17) children are buried, on April 12, 2019. Six months ago Castillo lost her Siamese twins in a dangerous childbirth. Her family buried the children in a nearby cemetery while she was still in hospital, but she goes to visit them sometimes. "For a while I feel like they're with me." Several of Castillo's cousins have migrated to the United States -- a future she has considered for herself. Violence against women is endemic in Central America, and in Honduras, it has a particularly high cost: Emergency contraception is outlawed, and so rape survivors can't prevent pregnancy; abortion is criminalized in all cases, and women who end pregnancies can face close to a decade in prison. The patriarchal culture that fuels violence, advocates say, is the same one that upholds some of the most extreme restrictions on reproductive rights in the world. All of this creates a climate in which many women see no option but to flee, risking their lives to travel to the United States. Globally, millions of women who have fled their homes because of conflict or crisis also face systemic rape and the resulting pregnancies. Despite the clear need -- refugee women face among the highest levels of sexual violence in the world -- abortion services are almost nonexistent in refugee camps. "Why don't women raped in conflict have a right to abortion?" is a question that indicts some of the most powerful individuals and institutions, while zeroing in on the experiences and stories of some of the most marginalized people.
