Anniversaire de l’assassinat de Berta Cáceres

The statement commemorates the anniversary of the murder of Berta Cáceres, a Lenca indigenous activist killed for opposing dams on the Gualcarque River in Honduras. It links the struggle for territorial protection with the fight against capitalist and patriarchal systems that exploit both the environment and women. Friends of the Earth International calls for justice for Cáceres and other murdered women defenders, denouncing the institutionalized violence and impunity faced by indigenous and grassroots movements globally.

• Berta Cáceres, a Lenca indigenous activist, was killed in La Esperanza, Honduras, due to her leadership of the COPINH and Lenca people's collective struggle to protect their lands, forests, and rivers from the threat of six dams on the Gualcarque River.
• The document argues that the protection of territories is inseparable from the struggle against capitalist and patriarchal systems, which treat both the environment and women's labor as inexhaustible resources for exploitation by transnational corporations.
• Women from peasant, popular, indigenous, and working-class backgrounds globally face persecution, violence, and death from state agents or transnational companies when organizing to oppose the destruction of their communities.
• Friends of the Earth International committed at its 2016 biennial General Assembly to work toward dismantling the patriarchy, viewing this as essential for systemic change and the end of the exploitation of women's reproductive and productive labor.
