| This publication identifies seven different approaches that international aid agencies have adopted in response to tackling violence against women (VAW) in Honduras. Despite international commitments to eliminate VAW, accessing resources for this work has becoming increasingly difficult. In Central America, there is increasing concern that the current poverty alleviation programme is taking donor attention and funding away from the region’s ‘lower middle-income’ countries, where gender discrimination, unequal concentration of wealth, exploitative power relations, and VAW are very significant. Many aid agencies do not disaggregate their budget by gender-related programmes let alone gender equality, women’s projects or programmes combating VAW. Gender mainstreaming may in fact contribute to agencies not gender budgeting and makes it difficult to know whether enough resources are allocated for VAW work. Although the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs) promote rights-based approaches and have gender equality as their third goal, VAW is not directly addressed and therefore seems to get lost in formal development frameworks, instruments, indicators and reporting mechanisms.
