In this project, journalist Emily Gogolak documents the stories of women and children deported from immigration detention centers in Texas, focusing on Hondurans. Violent deaths among women in Honduras rose by more than 263 percent between 2005 and 2013. The impunity rate for femicide and sexual violence claims is about 95 percent.
