'Cut to bits': Honduran women flee extreme patriarchal violence

Pulitzer prize-winning journalist Sonia Nazario describes the extreme culture of violence against Honduran women that causes so many to flee and seek asylum in the U.S. "What I saw in Honduras was that four of 10 women, when they are killed, they are killed with brutality that far exceeds what is needed to kill them. It's a message," says Nazario. "I was having horrible nightmares. I'm in therapy now after returning from Honduras." Nazario is the author of "Enrique's Journey: The Story of a Boy's Dangerous Odyssey to Reunite with His Mother."
