Tonight we bring you inside a place where women are under seen. Its been called the most dangerous place on earth to be a woman. And its not a distant land oceans away. Its only 2,000 miles from texas. Which is why thousands of women are fleeing to our shores to escape a machismo culture racked by Gang Violence. We bring you to honduras to investigate femicide, an untold war. A small town girl with a megawatt smile. At only 19, Maria Jose Alvarado catapulted from obscurity to be crowned miss hon do you remem e. The first flight of her life to london where shed compete for the miss world title. Her tiara dreams were never to be. Instead, rows of weeping beauty queens sat mourning one of their own. Maria, you are and will remain a star. Reporter just days before the competition, maria jose and her sister had been shot to death. Their murders a national tragedy. Turned international headline. Murders of the reigning miss honduras and her sister reporter but even their devastated mother says she knows the bitter truth. The only thing unusual about their murders was that people paid attention. Honduras is a tropical land littered with churches, yet even under the everwatchful eye of the virgin mary, women here are under attack. Were going on a ridealong with the military police. Were getting a closeup view. Of the drugfueled Gang Violence that has turned this country into a virtual war zone. But even the cops say women are the most disturbing casualties. His father was killed by gangs, his brother was killed at age 16, he himself was shot three times. Yet he says its the violence against women thats out of control. Theres even a term for it. Femici femicide. With one woman murdered every 16 hours in a nation smaller than ohio, honduras has one of the highest femicide rates in the world. Its a perfect storm of a sexist, machismo culture of gains, guns, girls, and a government unable to cope. This is a part of town known for Gang Activity but its 10 00 in the morning and this is a murder that happened in broad daylight, out in the open. You can see the body is sort of halfcovered right there. You can see his hands sticking out of the tarp. A short walk away, another crime scene. The kids seem unfazed by all this murder. They get used to it. Here a mans power is often measured in bullets. Even in this idyllic town where a young, bookish beauty queen became the countrys most famous femicide victim. The night maria jose was killed she tagged along to a party for her sisters boyfriends birthday. That boyfriend, 32yearold putarco ruiz. Police believe he shot sofia after a jealous argument, then turned his gun on her fleeing sister. Excellent student. Despite a slew of Witnesses Police believe ruiz brazenly hid their bodies. They were found a week later in a shallow grave. Their older sister was there. Their house now a shrine. Cobwebs on trophies. Beautiful smiles frozen in time. Teresa says were it not for her daughters fame, the police might not have bothered investigating at all. If she werent a beauty queen, they wouldnt be interested in trying to solve her murder . Police charged ruiz with the murders. He maintains his innocence and now, nearly three years later, his trial is finally under way. In fact, a verdict is expected tomorrow. Now teresa and corey are living in hiding, afraid of retaliation from the killer. They hope to get asylum in the u. S. , but know their chances are slim. The unholy violence of honduras has propelled a river of women and children towards americas southern border. Part of what the u. N. Has called an invisible refugee crisis. We are leaving an untold war. Reporter nisa medina is battling a culture where women, she says, are disposable. Men are getting away with not just brutalizing women but killing them and not getting punished. Because we are its common. Its something that you can be expected of, leaving here. Reporter the threat too often comes from within a womans own home. This is haiti hernandez, a 30yearold mother of five. She lives with the horrific memories of the night her abusive husband brutally attacked her legs with a machete. The attack so savage, her husband had actually severed both her feet. He cut you here . He cut you . Uhhuh. Reporter a ruthless attempt, she thinks, to steal her physical independence. Do you think he went after your legs on purpose . Or was he just trying to kill you . Haiti is a true survivor. Just a year later she walks with donated prosthetics. And even plays in an allmale wheelchair basketball league. As horrifying as her story is, in a heartbreaking way shes actually lucky. Her attacker got 15 years in prison. Despite soaring rates of femicide, rape, and Domestic Violence, an estimated 95 of these crimes go totally unpunished. We wanted to find out why so few women ever get justice here. So we went to the cops. Here we run into another badly beaten woman. Shes here to basically report she got beaten up by a neighbor. Her name is ingrid. Shes 24 years old. He hit you really hard. She said he hit her 30 times with a machete. The flat half of a machete, basically whipping her with the machete. Im so sorry. Im so sorry. What did he say while he was attacking you . He said that he was going to kill you. In front of your child. Most women dont have faith in the police. Ingrid is one of the brave ones. She wants a restraining order. But knows it may not help. Do you feel like men get away with stuff like this . Attacking women . Promising to keep in touch, ingrid limps away. Her fate uncertain. The restraining order is only as powerful as the police and the courts that are going to back it up. How powerful is that piece of paper in this country . How powerful is a bullet . Is a bullet more powerful than a piece of paper . Yes. Reporter wed heard the government had formed a special headquarters for crimes against women. So we came to find out how they handle cases like ingrids. But after three hours of waiting this is the point place for reporting Domestic Violence in a country where the numbers are off the charts. Yet there are less than a handful of people here reporting. We asked the womens d. A. , Maria Mercedes bustello, to explain. If women really believed they could get justice here, wouldnt there be a line out the door . She admits that filing a complaint can take weeks. Police lack basic resources. And there are places so dangerous the cops cant even go in without military backup. Whats crazy is heres a woman Whose Department is supposed to protect women. But she says, listen, if your boyfriend is beating you and hes a member of a gang . Youre signing your own death warrant to go to police. Then we get a chance to see for ourselves what happens when the police do take action. Okay, were riding with the police to deliver the restraining order. His wife is accusing him of punching her in the face and in the ribs. The plan is to deliver the order at the factory where he works. But it takes us two hours to even find the place. The charges are serious. But the mood . Surprisingly friendly. Once they return, they tell us the man who signed the order wasnt the one they were looking for. They were satisfied giving it to his brother. How did they know the man they were looking for wasnt there . Did they look for him . She tells us they asked for him nicely and were told he wasnt around. They told you he wasnt there, so you believe them . Watching this unfold, it becomes clear to me why so many women feel helpless here. When we come back, has ingrids restraining order done her any good . And the youngest victims of the untold war. Then a growing movement. The women fighting back. With all the overthecounter products ive used. Enough ive tried enough laxatives to cover the eastern seaboard. Ive climbed a Mount Everest of fiber.
