  • A sign at Pratibha says 'Your safety mean the safety of your family'. The plant is run on international standards for Health and Safety and satisfies the Fairtrade guidelines and conditions. Another sign says "Photography and Videography Prohibited".<br />
<br />
Pratibha Syntex, Pithamur, Madhya Pradesh, produces 60 million items of clothing a year in its vertically-integrated facility that takes raw cotton and turns it into finished clothing. 10,000 people work at the plant, 33,000 cotton farmers are part of Vasudha farming cooperative that provide cotton to Pratibha. Pratibha and Vasudha are Fairtrade-certified.<br />
<br />
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.

'I have 3.8 hectares of bananas that I farm here. I've been a member of ASOGUABO for three years.<br />
<br />
Fairtrade, well, the name says it, it's fair trade. I get paid a fair price, I get treated fairly. As well as that, there's extra help, with the Fairtrade premium. We've been helped with the biol (fermented organic fertilizer produced by the coop) and for me, that's the best, we're using it every week and it works.<br />
<br />
We get help to pay the workers's insurance, access to health care, and dental care, for us and the workers.<br />
<br />
The difference between conventional and Fairtrade, well, you just can't compare them, I can tell you because I've done both. You sign a contract for a year, but they don't pay you a fair price for more than a couple of weeks a year. With Fairtrade you get a fair price all year.<br />
<br />
I think that women are better organised, and we have a better way of dealing with workers, we're less explosive than men. There are always mistakes being made, every day, that's normal, but women deal with them better, with less conflict.<br />
<br />
With Fairtrade, women have come to the forefront. At the beginning the board had few women. Now the men have to be quiet.'

<br />
I was in four iceboxes in the US, about three days in each. The icebox is a room where they put you with very cold air conditioning, the aim of it is to freeze you, to make you more likely to sign the form so that they can send you straight home. It really is freezing, you are on the floor, there’s no bedding, you don’t have enough clothes, your teeth chatter and you feel like you are going to die.<br />
<br />
I was deported after about 20 days. I met someone here in Juticalpa who told me about the LWF.<br />
<br />
I left my place because of danger. What does danger mean? Ha! Danger here is not an abstract concept. My whole family was threatened by a gang. Threats against your life are part of controlling you, subjecting you. My whole family had to leave. People who don’t take notice of threats like that are simply killed. We’ve lost a lot of friends and neighbours, they disappeared. The gang here use a tourniquet on your neck, that’s their signature.<br />
<br />
When I came back, I moved. I had nothing, lost everything. <br />
<br />
The LWF helped me get back on my feet. I make school uniforms, I make adjustments to clothes, I make suits and rent them for weddings. I have dreams of getting bigger to start making clothes that people here want. I have no plan to go back to the US. <br />
<br />
With skills here, and a helping hand to get on your feet, and plenty of hard work, you can make it here, you can survive.<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

<br />
I was in a private university. It was too expensive. I live with my mother, she’s a single mother, we couldn’t afford to carry on with the studies, I couldn’t find a job, there’s a lot of violence here, a lot. So, I decided to go to the US. <br />
<br />
We paid a smuggler, $4,000. <br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to my mum was hard, we’d never been apart before. You know it’s risky, you don’t know if you are going to come back, you are conscious of the risk, of being kidnapped, being raped, being killed. But, there’s nothing here. We don’t all have drinking water, sometimes there’s no water at all. There are people right here who don’t eat three meals a day, who can’t afford to send their kids to school, my neighbour here didn’t send their kids to school last year, couldn’t afford it. If you are lucky to get day work here, as a farm labourer, you might get 100 lempiras a day, maybe 90, depends, and it’s hard work. You can’t do much with 100 Lempiras ($4 USD). <br />
<br />
The truth is that you suffer on the journey, sometimes you walk all night, sometimes there’s not much food, you have to sleep on the floor, and it’s dangerous, you can be kidnapped, killed. They tried to sell one of the young women I was with, to sleep with men, you understand. I lost a lot of weight on the journey, I got really skinny, I didn’t get back to normal until after being in prison.<br />
<br />
I was deported twice, once from Mexico, once from the US. The first time I went I got to Mexico, I was deported back to San Pedro Sula, and then I just went straight back. I got to McAllen, Texas and was caught shortly after I got there. I was imprisoned for eight days and then deported. I didn’t have money to get a lawyer to fight my case, so I came back, I signed the form to be deported. I was in prison with Salvadoreans, Guatemalans, other Hondurans. I was 19. <br />

Thank God, the LWF has helped me a lot, from the first day I met them. With their help, we�

I was in a private university. It was too expensive. I live with my mother, she’s a single mother, we couldn’t afford to carry on with the studies, I couldn’t find a job, there’s a lot of violence here, a lot. So, I decided to go to the US. <br />
<br />
We paid a smuggler, $4,000. <br />
<br />
Saying goodbye to my mum was hard, we’d never been apart before. You know it’s risky, you don’t know if you are going to come back, you are conscious of the risk, of being kidnapped, being raped, being killed. But, there’s nothing here. We don’t all have drinking water, sometimes there’s no water at all. There are people right here who don’t eat three meals a day, who can’t afford to send their kids to school, my neighbour here didn’t send their kids to school last year, couldn’t afford it. If you are lucky to get day work here, as a farm labourer, you might get 100 lempiras a day, maybe 90, depends, and it’s hard work. You can’t do much with 100 Lempiras ($4 USD). <br />
<br />
The truth is that you suffer on the journey, sometimes you walk all night, sometimes there’s not much food, you have to sleep on the floor, and it’s dangerous, you can be kidnapped, killed. They tried to sell one of the young women I was with, to sleep with men, you understand. I lost a lot of weight on the journey, I got really skinny, I didn’t get back to normal until after being in prison.<br />
<br />
I was deported twice, once from Mexico, once from the US. The first time I went I got to Mexico, I was deported back to San Pedro Sula, and then I just went straight back. I got to McAllen, Texas and was caught shortly after I got there. I was imprisoned for eight days and then deported. I didn’t have money to get a lawyer to fight my case, so I came back, I signed the form to be deported. I was in prison with Salvadoreans, Guatemalans, other Hondurans. I was 19. <br />
<br />
Thank God, the LWF has helped me a lot, from the first day I met them. With their help, we�

  • Erika Cáceres Díaz, with her daughter Madeline: I work making stickers and signs. A lot of our work comes from the transport sector, buses and taxis mainly. We also do signs for offices, emergency exits and so on, but we get less business from that, it’s mainly transport, public and private. God has given me a talent for this, I thank God for it. And we’ve done trainings, for how to run a business, and I’ve learned other things on YouTube too. When we started, we didn’t know how to use the computer, we hadn’t been able to study much at school, so we had to learn a lot. I’ve done distance study at the university now too, in graphic design. World Renew, through Christian Ministries, has given us economic support too, credit to buy the computer and materials, as well as the trainings. Training on how to run a business and control costs, and know how far down you can go with pricing, that’s been important, it’s a competitive business, and prices are changing, we’re buying products that come into the country, so we’re paying dollars but earning lempiras, you need to understand what you are doing.

  • My name is Olav Fykse Tveit, I'm the general secretary of the World Council of Chruches. COP21, this huge event, is gathering the countries of the world, and it is also gathering the peoples of the world. We are here as the World Council of Churches believing in God but also believing that change is possible. I see signs of hope, one is that there is now a common understanding of the problem, that we have to do something, and it has to happen now. Willingness to act is what has to be shown here. We are here to support these efforts and accept that we have to work together, politicians, civil society, people in the business and finance sectors, anyone with the ability to make a difference, we have have to pull together and make this happen now.
