  • Tropical Race 4, known as TR4, is a strain of the fungus Fusarium Oxysporum, which causes Fusarium wilt, also known as Panama disease, in Cavendish cultivars. TR4 has devastated commercial plantations of Cavendish bananas in Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia and Australia’s Northern Territory. There is a legitimate fear that TR4 can wipe out banana production in Ecuador, it cannot be controlled using fungicides or fumigation, so preparation for containment is being made, but there is a tangible fear among producers that their livelihood can be wiped out, and there are already confirmed cases of TR4 very nearby in Colombia.

<br />
'I belong to an association of small-scale banana producers in southern Ecuador, called ASOGUABO. There are about 130 members, and of those, we are about 35 women producers.<br />
<br />
We've been exporting bananas for 22 years. This year I've been on the board, and it's been gratifying, and we have to contribute to the association. <br />
<br />
Fairtrade has had a really positive impact. Women have been able to participate effectively since the beginning.<br />
<br />
The Fairtrade premium is really important for lots of social programmes here. The government here doesn't give enough help to schools for example, so we can step in and help build a new classroom or toilet block or a play area. With the workers, we can pay for insurance, health care. Among the producers we can help with organic fertilizers, and increase our productivity. We prioritise what we spend the premium on. <br />
<br />
The most important thing for us is the stability and a fair price, stability that we will sell our bananas 52 weeks of the year.<br />
<br />
We're really worried here about TR4, it's a fungus that could hurt our business badly, not just ours but everyone in the region'<br />

  • Gay Jesus<br />
<br />
Emanuel de Jesús Barrientos, Comayagüela<br />
<br />
"I knew I was gay when I was six years old. I’m 33 now, the age of Christ.<br />
<br />
In Honduras many gay men suffer discrimination. They are attacked, even killed. It’s dangerous to come out of the closet as it puts everything in danger - your family, your social relationships, your work, your security, even your life. We live in an aggressive environment of violent heterosexual machismo.<br />
<br />
I work promoting LGBT rights here in the office of the Arcoiris association and I study at the university too. In our offices we are obliged to have a security system with cameras and rolls of razorwire as we’ve had threats.<br />
<br />
We have a proposal for a law for gender identity and equality. Through this law we would have a legal basis to prohibit all sorts of discrimination for sexual orientation, race, ability, age and gender identity. Though the initiative is from Arcoiris it would cover LGBT, disability, women, Afro-Hondurans, the elderly, indigenous and others.<br />
<br />
There are gender equality laws in other countries but, of course, with this government there’s not much chance of seeing it passed in Honduras. A lot of people are opposed to the movement for equality, they think the only thing we want is equal marriage and the right to adopt.<br />
<br />
On May 17th we promote campaigns against homo, lesbo, bi and transphobia in Honduras.<br />
<br />
Two years ago I tried dressing as a woman for the first time. I feel it allows me to express a feminine side of my character that I can’t while I’m dressed as a man. I don’t walk down the street like it, but I do it for LGBT events, like a show. It’s a bit of fun."
