Description
It's been eight years since she was raped, but Fausia still lives with "pain, suffering, rejection and disgust", a crime she was forced to carry as Honduras' strict abortion ban prevented the survivor from terminating her pregnancy. "If I could have terminated it, I would have," she says, "because it was something I did not want."
Fausia is now taking Honduras to the UN Human Rights Committee, seeking an order to amend its abortion law, one of the most restrictive in Latin America. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
