  • Laura Zuñiga Cáceres, daughter of Berta Cáceres who was assassinated on 3 March 2016: "We think that if we take on a role of repressed and depressed victims, it will strengthen the terror and fear that the assassinations bring, of course it affects us sometimes, but we are conscious of what we want to achieve, and we want to break this role. We want to revindate life. We want to revindicate the work of my mum and everything that her lifelong and collective struggles meant. We are strong and we have justice in our hands and we will continue working like she worked, we are continuing her stuggle."<br />
<br />
"Pensamos que si tomamos un papel de victima reprimada y deprimida puede reforzar el terror y el miedo que traen los asesinatos, claro que nos afecta a veces, pero estamos conscientes de lo que queremos y queremos romper ese papel. Queremos reinvindicar la vida. Queremos reinvindicar el trabajo de mi mami y todo lo que significa el hecho de haber luchado toda su vida y haber trabajado en colectividad. Tenemos fuerza y tenemos la justicia en nuestras manos y seguiremos trabajando como ella trabajó, vamos a continuar la lucha de ella."

  • Doña Berta, the mother of Berta Cáceres sits at home in front of an altar to her murdered daughter. <br />
<br />
The day after she was killed, the Pope sent me a letter. Berta had met him. His letter filled me with hope, it consoled me. It showed his commitment to the people that defend the environment, and his commitment to indigenous peoples and the defence of human rights.  <br />
<br />
But here, for the powerful, these messages seem to go in one ear and out the other. Even while we are suffering extreme poverty, nature is being sold and destroyed, even the fish are dying, we have poisoned water, full of chemicals, nothing can survive in this. We are defenceless now, even the ten commandments are not respected. The only way forward is by organised resistance to corruption and injustice, that's what Berta did, that's what we all have to do now.
