CEM-H (Centro de Estudios de la Mujer – Honduras Centre for Women’s Studies – Honduras) was set up in 1987 and works on reforming public policies and national legislation, education and training for women’s leadership, promotion of women’s political participation and the investigation and documentation of gender-based violence.
As part of the Regional Gender and Governance Programme, CEM-H works on training women MPs in the National Assembly’s Commission on Women. Themes include the construction of gender equity policies.

The Regional Gender and Governance Programme
The Regional Gender and Governance Programme unites five feminist organisations in El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Guatemala. The programme aims to strengthen the political participation of marginalised women so that public policies, services and legislation reflect women’s rights. Work is being carried out in four Central American countries in 39 rural and urban municipalities: Nicaragua (12 municipalities), El Salvador (12 municipalities), Honduras (7 municipalities) and Guatemala (8 municipalities) and is benefitting approximately 1,500 grassroots women from 30 women's organisations and 155 women councillors and mayors.
