The Fifth Circuit has remanded a motion to reopen filed by a Honduran woman based on changed country conditions related to gender violence. The court noted that she had “introduced voluminous and uncontroverted evidence that the regime established after the 2009 coup made changes that substantially reduced legal protections for women and dramatically impaired institutions within the government and civil society that protect women from gender-based violence. And the coup was accompanied by the rate of homicides of women doubling within a single year, which can hardly be described as incremental.”
