Honduras's president pledged to relax abortion laws, but an abortion-pill black market still thrives.

Jinna Rosales of Accion Joven, a group that supports young people, says it's the poor provision of sex education and the prevalence of gender-based violence that lies behind many of these pregnancies, and the risky abortions that sometimes result.

The promised change with regard to the morning-after pill has also failed to materialise.

It must be administered by a doctor at a hospital.
