Location: UCLA Promise Institute—Law School Room 1347

Bertha Zúñiga Cáceres, general coordinator of the Civic Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras [COPINH], was born to what she’s described as “a people of great dignity and strength.” She also was born into struggle. She was just a toddler when her mother, Berta Cáceres founded COPINH to defend the land from exploitation by mining, dam-building and logging interests. Upon her mother’s assasination, Zúñiga Cáceres suspended her graduate studies and began to focus on two critical goals: finding and bringing to justice her mother’s murderers and carrying on her mother’s fight for environmental and social justice.
