About Me |
|
| We are an international human rights organisation, active in many countries world-wide. Find out more about us at www.fian.org What's new? A journey to the Kaiowa Guarani in Brazil Members of FIAN sections from Brazil, Belgium and France have embarked on a trip to the Brazilian State of Mato Grosso do Sul from April, 6th to 11th, 2008. They are going to meet the Kaiowa Guarani communities to learn more about their lives and how their human right to food is being violated. The Kaiowá live on agriculture, hunting and gathering. Lack of land means hunger and malnutrition. Wherever the Kaiowá can plant, malnutrition decreases. In recent years, the number of deaths from malnutrition in Dourados would have been even higher had the state not supplied food baskets. Mato Grosso do Sul discontinued this programme in early 2007. After an upsurge in malnutrition-related deaths, the federal government stepped in providing food. What the Kaiowa need, however, is more than that: They need some of their land back as soon as possible – as depression, alcoholism and tensions among them are spreading. A lot of effort will be necessary to force the powerful local landlords, firms and politicians to retreat. The Kaiowá urgently need allies so that their children have a future. Two journalists, An Baccaert (Journal MO Belgium) and Philippe Merlant (Journal La Vie France), one independent cameraman, Jorge Nicolas Munos and one photographer, Ana Nascimento (Journal La Vie France) are joining the FIAN representatives during this trip.
