The objective of this report will be to present an analysis of the pronouncement of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Vicky Hernandez vs. Honduras, whose relevance lies in being the first time that the Court applies the Belém Do Pará Convention in relation to the safeguarding of the rights of trans women. The Inter-American Court declared the responsibility of Honduras for the violation of articles 7.a and 7.b of the CBDP. For this purpose, an analysis of the evolution of the concept “gender“ in International Human Rights Law will be made. In addition, reference will be made to the dissenting vote of Judge Odio Benito, to demonstrate the lack of application of an intersectional approach that takes into account the right to gender identity of the victim. Along the same lines, reference will be made to the vote of magistrate Vio Grossi to raise the need to use the dynamic or evolutionary interpretation of articles 7.a and 7.b of the Belém do Pará Convention, so that trans women are included within its scope of protection. Finally, the jurisprudential line on which the Inter-American Court of Human Rights has identified gender stereotypes in the due diligence analysis will be formulated to consider whether it is possible to determine that it is enough to detect the presence of stereotypes in an investigation to conclude that there was no due diligence.
