    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    Un Women provided with technical assistnace the Roundtable for Women’s Access to Justice and the Supreme Court of Justice to elaborate the Regulation of the Registry of Non-Performing Maintenance Debtors (REDAM) wich was approved in March 2024. This initiative has significantly strengthened the legal framework to protect the rights of women, adolescents, and girls. The Roundtable, created in September 2023, aims to promote gender equity through joint actions between the Judiciary and the Gender Equity Commission of the National Congress.
    As a result of this collaboration, the REDAM system now provides real-time information on the registration or cancellation of individuals in the registry, issues "Certificates Free of Alimony Debt," and generates statistical reports for decision-making. This system is free of charge, without any limitations, and ensures immediate access to necessary judicial services.
    UN Women’s support for the implementation of REDAM, funded by the earmarked budget approved by the National Congress, has led to improved judicial services for individuals and user institutions. This achievement contributes to the objectives of SDG 5.2, 5.c, and 1.b by eliminating violence against women and girls, promoting gender equality, and supporting poverty eradication through gender-responsive policies.

    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    During the year 2023, UN Women-Honduras played a pivotal role in strengthening the national regulatory framework and inter-institutional cooperation between the executive and judicial branches. This was achieved through the provision of technical-legal assistance in the development of the Purple Alert Law, its regulations, and budget. This instrument stands as a non-negotiable public law with nationwide applicability. Its primary purpose is to establish the legal, institutional, and budgetary framework to prevent the disappearance of girls, adolescents, and women. It also aims to activate an immediate alarm mechanism for the search, location, and protection of those who, under any circumstances, go missing. The law seeks to prevent them from becoming victims of abuse, femicide, murder, or trafficking to other communities or countries after their disappearance.By legal mandate, UN Women actively participates as an observer in the Interinstitutional Commission for Monitoring Investigations of Violent Deaths of Women and Femicides. From this platform, contributions have been made towards advocating for the reactivation of the 114 hotline for reporting violence against women, the state affirmative action of the general budget labeled with a gender perspective, and the presentation of the Comprehensive Law against Violence against Women.All these efforts align with the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5, specifically Target 5.1 to end all forms of discrimination against women and girls worldwide, and Indicator 5.1.1 which assesses the presence of legal frameworks promoting, enforcing, and monitoring equality and non-discrimination based on sex. UN Women-Honduras, through its initiatives, not only contributes to fulfilling these global objectives but also serves as a model for effective collaboration and legal empowerment in the pursuit of gender equality.
