Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand support cotton producer groups in India. Fairtrade-certified groups benefit from Fairtrade through guaranteed prices for their produce, technical assistance to improve quality and output, and the Fairtrade premium which the producer groups decide what to do with, often using it for education and health care for their members' communities.<br />
<br />
RDFC (formerly Agrocel) is a Fairtrade-certified group of thousands of farmers who grow cotton in the Rapar, Kutch region of Gujarat in western India.

  • Rubén Dario Martinez, 28, Santa Cruz, Catacamas, Olancho<br />
<br />
I learnt to be a barber from nothing, I didn’t know anything about it, learnt it all from the LWF training, building up a clientele. It’s better than working as a security guard, like before. I’d earn less than half of the national minimum wage, and the work was all night, it was dangerous. I worked in a hotel, where all sorts of people go, if you know what I mean, this is a dangerous city. One time a client was drunk and wanted me to drink with him, I said no and he but the barrel of his gun in my face and forced me to drink.<br />
<br />
I decided for reasons of security to try to get to the US. Also out of sheer poverty. When you’re on the bottom rung, it’s hard.<br />
<br />
I went on my own, no smuggler, didn’t have the money to pay one. It was hard. Sometimes I didn’t eat. Sometimes I met people with children, sometimes I’d help them carry their kids, it’s hard to leave people behind struggling, it’s hard. Sometimes people tried to rob us. Sometimes people would insult me.<br />
I got to Mexico City. That’s where I was caught. I spent two weeks in prison in Mexico, it was full of Hondurans, Guatemalans, Salvadoreans. <br />
<br />
No one likes to leave their family on their own. <br />

  • César Abraham Méndez Calix, 31, Jutiquiles<br />
<br />
We’ve seen people leaving Syria, going through France, thousands of them. We never thought we’d see thousands of people leaving Honduras at the same time. But, if you all go together, you don’t pay smugglers, and it’s safer.<br />
<br />
I lived in a really dangerous neighbourhood. Really dangerous. Lots of my friends were killed.<br />
<br />
The first three times I got up to Laredo.<br />
Then I went on the train, on top of the train, up to Mexicali.<br />
All in all, I went six times, I was deported five times.<br />
<br />
The last time, the people I was with got impatient, they tried to get across, they were deported. I got homesick, I decided to come back here, to eat beans.<br />
<br />
But, it’s hard here, economically. <br />
<br />
I was lucky to survive it, I saw someone killed in front of me, I was with this guy from Choluteca, we were tired, it was six in the morning, we hadn’t slept much, we were perched in between the train wagons, he slipped off and went straight under the wheels. God knows how many people have died on the journey, and plenty come back with limbs missing. Another time I saw someone reach out for a mango from an overhanging tree, the train will full, 60 people on each wagon, we were hungry, so he reached out, he slipped, he went between the wagons, landed on his teeth, he was dead straight away.<br />
<br />
One time I nearly died myself. I was travelling between Nayarit and Guadalajara. I was on the train and I touched a high-tension cable, it just brushed my face, burned me, two Mexicans stopped me from falling off, they grabbed my legs. I’ve never been closer to death. I have never got on a train again. <br />
<br />
Sometimes the Mexican throw stones at you while you’re on the train. <br />
<br />
I have done training with the LWF, I am making a living painting, painting houses and businesses, and doing signwriting and tattoos.<br />

  • Cindy Cruz Flores, 24. Tenpiscapa, Olancho.<br />
<br />
I was deported.<br />
<br />
I went because I couldn’t find any work, there’s nothing here. I’m single, I live at home, I have no children, but I have to help my parents. Even with a profession here, there’s no employment. Lots of people from round here decide to migrate, to find a better future. <br />
<br />
Maybe it’s not as bad here as in some other areas, not many people are hungry, no one dies of hunger here. But, there’s scarcity, there are families who don’t get to eat three times a day. In Honduras the violence is terrible, generally. Catacamas is tough, it’s dangerous. Our particular neighbourhood isn’t too bad though.<br />
<br />
My brother is in the US, he sent money for me to try to get there. He paid $3500, that’s gone.<br />
<br />
I got to Houston, through Juarez, by the bridge. I was there for three months, detained. It was difficult there. I was punished, they sent me from place to place, the food was terrible, you don’t even see sunlight, you don’t know what time of the day it is. The ice boxes are the worst, you freeze. I couldn’t bear it. I signed the papers to be deported. There are lots of stories of people who take their own lives. It’s a bad feeling, terrible feeling there. <br />
<br />
Among the staff in the detention centres, there are bad people, they enjoy making you suffer.<br />
<br />
I was lucky on the journey, it wasn’t much suffering, but in detention it was bad. Some of the women I was with suffered a lot more on the journey, some had broken arms and legs, one had her face all disfigured, another was all cut and grazed, accidents on the train or getting over the wall, or traffic accidents. <br />
<br />
Women travelling have extra risks. A lot of women are raped, or killed. <br />
<br />
I did a course with the LWF, three months training, cutting hair and beauty salon work. I’ve learned to be less shy. I’m working in a salon now, cutting hair. I like doing that. I think in the future, God willing, and with the support of the LWF, I’ll set up m

She was cut three times on the head with a machete and lost a finger. Her son had his ear and a large part of his face cut off, her husband was left for dead but survived, though his is no longer able to work.

  • César Silva, reporter for UNE TV, has recently been attacked by armed forces and prevented from working, and suffered an attack on his life by a member of the public while conducting a live broadcast. Silva is famous for breaking a huge story on a multi-million dollar theft of money from the social security by members of the current government. UNE TV is the last TV station to report from the perspective of the Alliance Against the Dictatorship and is facing daily difficulties including having their cable signal, internet and electricity cut off. The police behind César stopped him from approaching Congress, where he is authorised to work.

  • Demonstration on Lumad rights, Manila, Phlippines. Interview with Kerlan Fenagal, Chair of PASAKA, the Confederation of Lumad Organisations in Southern Mindanao. <br />
<br />
"Indigenous peoples are 14% of the total Filipino population of 110 million, so 15 million or so indigenous people in the country. The Lumad are a large group, particularly in Mindanao.<br />
<br />
We are victims of the continuing, and intensifying, militarisation, specially now, we are under Martial Law in Mindanao. All over the Philippines we are facing the Oplan Kapayapaan, the counter-insurgency programme of the Duterte regime. We are facing attacks on our efforts to establish our Lumad schools, that provide education to the Lumad. Duterte says that the schools are training grounds, recruiting stations, for insurgents. They call us terrorists and communists, that’s how they tag us, but that is a pretext.<br />
<br />
The militarisation is to impose other policies, they have interests in our ancestral lands. They intensify attacks on our people and our culture because we defend our ancestral lands against mining, plunder, logging concessions, constructing mega-dams on our big rivers, like bulami river. They want to take our resources, they want to exploit our rainforests, the Pantaron Range. If you see the movie Avatar, that’s how you can imagine the Pantaron Range, it is rain forest. They are already mining there, going from medium scale to large scale, the government sell the mines to foreign companies. The region is rich in gold, copper, nickel and coal. They want our resources, they use the military and paramilitaries to get them...<br />
