  • A woman in the Petionville Camp at the edge of Port au Prince, Haiti, is interviewed by police officials after lodging a domestic violence complaint against her husband. Some 50,000 residents are packed onto what was once a golf course, and the close quarters and frustration at lack of employment and other opportunities contributes to tensions, according to Pascal Rwatangabo (right), a Rwandan officer with the United Nations MINUSTAH police force. "With nothing to do but sit in their tent all day under the sun, it's not surprising to see problems," Rwatangabo said. "And when the men start drinking, it's even worse. Yet when we start to arrest a man for a violent crime, the woman will often plead with us to let him go, because she realizes her precarious economic situation will deteriorate if the man is not there, even though his violent behavior may continue." Also present was MINUSTAH official Aphrodis Nkandineza (center). The Petionville Camp is the largest camp of hundreds of locales hosting more than a million people left homeless by the January 12, 2010 quake.

  • Mirtala López: "I was a shy woman before. But, a few years ago, I began taking part in the savings group Amor y Fé. I would go and put my money in, but I’d never speak. Bit by bit, I began to take a more active part in the group, and I was elected to run it, as President of the group for eight years. We had a good group, 30 people, we began to celebrate Mothers Day, Women’s Day, Christmas, International Day of the Child, and the group grew to 70 women. But then my husband died, and I had to withdraw. But I still meet all those women and they say that I motivated them. We used to have days out, excursions, and the money that we’d make from the excursions we’d spend on lunches, it was a lovely group. I moved on to the family garden groups, and I had to learn a lot. But it was a lovely process, planting seeds, for gardens, and for communities. There is a practical benefit, and a spiritual benefit. This has helped me to be the woman that I am today. I would never have thought that I’d go and sit with government representatives and hold them to rights, but I do. I used to be really shy, I’d never speak. Now they have to stop me. Whoever is in the government, I will go there and ask for support for our community. The government has got a responsibility, and they have resources. And we put in our part, our labour, we have a responsibility too. The work with World Renew has trained us to open those doors to government support, and to solving our own problems."

  • Silvia Maria Alvarez Rosales<br />
Tenquiscapa<br />
<br />
I have migrated to the US seven times. The last time was a very bad experience.<br />
<br />
At the beginning it was fun, going through Mexico. But, as soon as I got across the river into the US, it was bad. It is dangerous, you can lose everything including your life.<br />
<br />
My feet were tired, I’d been walking three days and nights, I had injuries on my feet, my socks were stuck to my feet, I couldn’t bear it any more. That night, we were walking through forest, there were thorns, the thorns would get stuck in my skin, scratch and injure me. We could see lights way off in the distance. It was evening time, I saw a woman who’d given birth, both the woman and the baby were dead. I got scared, the guide got hold of me and covered my mouth to stop me screaming. The smuggler wasn’t bad, he left me on a road where I’d get picked up by the migration. <br />
<br />
Migration passed by a few times before picking me up. Eventually they woke me up, I could hardly stand up, they treated my wounds. I asked for political asylum, and I was left in prison for seven months before being deported. My family thought I was dead, there aren’t any international calls. When I got back here, I got off the bus, and my father saw me and he fell down on the ground and couldn’t stop crying. <br />
<br />
The LWF has helped me set up my own salon, they’ve helped me a lot, to buy my equipment, they’ve given me training. Now I have a job, I have no need to leave again.<br />
<br />
<br />
LWF’s program for returned and deported migrants is supported by ELCA.

  • Lesly Zúniga, indigenous Tolupan leader and director of World Renew partner Alfalit in Honduras is also a teacher, agronomist and farmerfocusing on organic and production for self-sufficiency.<br />
<br />
"Before now, you always knew when to plant your crops. With global warming, climate change, you don't know the cycles of your own crops any more. Before you'd plant on a certain date and you knew your crops would be okay. Now if you plant on the dates we used to use, your crops will fail. The only way to guarantee a crop now is with irrigation and we've been happy to work with World Renew on several irrigation projects in this area."<br />
<br />
"The country has great hopes with our new President, the first woman President in Honduras. There are a lot of challenges ahead, but we hope she can move us along a path towards greater gender equity and security for women, and support for small businesses for women, so that women don't have to migrate so much. We believe that the arrival of our first woman President is symbolic, of our hope and the changes we want to see in the country."
