I will always have much admiration for the defenders, I feel it as a privilege to have the opportunity to meet and accompany them, to share experiences with them. In spite of many serious difficulties they continue their struggle. It is an example for me.

PBI has trained me and given me experience in the defense of human rights in Mexico, where I still live today.

PBI has been a school, where I learned a lot of new skills, but also where we generated a family and a network of people committed to the defense of human rights.

I think it is extremely important to accompany and make visible the work of human rights defenders for the construction of peace, justice and care for the environment
