A/HRC/46/12 100. The Dominican Republic welcomed the actions taken by Honduras to protect the rights of women, particularly the measures aimed at reducing violence against women, including femicides. 101. Ecuador noted the strengthening of the capacity of the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Offences against Life to investigate femicides, the approval of the Strategic Plan to Combat Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking in Persons, and the implementation of the National Action Plan for Food and Nutritional Security. 102. Egypt commended Honduras on the progress made to protect and promote human rights, especially by establishing an OHCHR office in the country in 2016. 103. In its concluding remarks, the delegation thanked all the States that had actively participated in the review of Honduras, as well as the secretariat for making it possible to hold the session despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis. Honduras had made efforts to implement the recommendations emanating from the two previous cycles of the universal periodic review by incorporating them into SIMOREH and linking them to the Public Policy and National Action Plan on Human Rights. Honduras would strengthen its efforts to address pending challenges and conduct an in-depth analysis of the recommendations received during the third cycle. In order to promote these changes, intersectoral work with the private sector, academia and civil society, including human rights defenders, would be decisive. II.
