The International day for the elimination of violence against women 2013

Friends of the Earth International expresses solidarity with victims of gender-based violence and highlights the intersection of patriarchy and systemic injustice that threatens environmental activists, specifically citing the situation of Berta Caceres in Honduras.

• The organization notes that domestic and sexual violence remain at staggeringly high levels globally and advocates for the total elimination of gender violence to ensure security and peace of mind for the vulnerable.
• Environmental and political protests by women are frequently met with violence or threats, as exemplified by Berta Caceres and her colleagues in Honduras who face political persecution and threats while fighting for their community.
• Patriarchy is identified as a force that maintains systemic and structural injustices, which creates challenges for both male and female activists.
