This project aims to document the axis of uncontrolled violence in Honduras and as social and political factors are feeding more and more aggressively such violence. I have been working in Central America more than 5 years documenting the transformation of their society and so fighting to introduce journalistic nonsense of the disastrous policies to end violence. I would like to continue working in new themes for reflection and more detailed profiles that could be red notes as gender violence or intolerance towards more disadvantaged groups such as homosexuals or transsexuals who undergo numerous episodes of violence and mistreatment constantly. Honduras is considered one of the most violent places on earth. Every day on the streets of cities like San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, murders, robberies and violence are every day more present.
