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."
"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."
