This week is Women’s Fight Day, and this year our program on March 8th will once again be dedicated to feminist resistance. We take a look back and ahead, to Mexico, Colombia and Honduras.
Feminist, environmental activist, human rights activist and co-founder of the indigenous council COPINH. In 2015, Berta Cáceres received the Goldman Environmental Prize in the USA, one of the world‘s highest honors in the field of environmental protection. Berta Cáceres stood for the fight of the rural and indigenous population for their right to land and a self-determined life. She organized the resistance against the planned Agua Zarca hydroelectric power station. On the Rio Gualcarque in the territory of the indigenous Lenca, the Honduran consortium DESA (Desarrollo Energético SA, stock corporation "Energetic development" ) planned the Agua Zarca mega dam project together with international funds and companies, including Siemens with its joint venture Voith-Hydro. On March 2, 2016, armed killers shot Berta Cáceres in her home and seriously wounded a comrade, Gustavo Castro. Years later, those involved in carrying out the murder were sentenced to moderate sentences. The intellectual perpetrators and those behind the crime remained unpunished. DESA put hydropower project on hold.
