Two journalists were murdered in 2017 and her father and friends are among those who have met violent deaths in the country – killings for which no one has ever been brought to justice. Funes meets these challenges with creativity and determination. For one article she had her own death certificate issued to highlight corruption. Funes also writes about violence against women, a huge problem in Honduras where one woman is killed every 16 hours.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][awards_fellows years=”2018″][vc_basic_grid post_type=”post” max_items=”12″ style=”load-more” items_per_page=”4″ element_width=”6″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1524476008020-fceb892e-6e72-0″ taxonomies=”23255″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
