Déclaration Journée Internationale des Femmes 2016

Friends of the Earth International issues a statement on International Women's Day 2016 to protest the murder of Berta Cáceres in Honduras. The organization denounces the Honduran government for its role in facilitating the appropriation of common goods by transnational corporations and for the repression of peaceful opposition. The statement links environmental justice to the end of violence against women, arguing that both nature and women's labor are exploited within a patriarchal, capitalist, and racist system. It calls for an independent international investigation into Cáceres' death and an end to the persecution of indigenous rights defenders.

• Berta Cáceres, a Lenca indigenous leader and co-founder of the National Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), was assassinated in the department of Intibuca, Honduras, on March 3, 2016.
• Since the 2009 coup d'état, the Honduran government has increased repression of peaceful opposition and collaborated with transnational corporations to seize common goods and territories through mining and dam projects, often without consulting affected populations.
• Environmental justice is viewed as unattainable without ending all forms of violence against women and the exploitation of their reproductive and productive labor, as both nature and women are treated as infinite resources for elite interests within a patriarchal, capitalist, and racist system.
• Friends of the Earth International and COPINH demand an independent investigation into the assassination of Berta Cáceres involving international judges and experts, an end to impunity, and a stop to the persecution of those defending indigenous and population rights.
