Starvation As many as 14 million people, half of them children, are at risk of starvation in the six affected countries: Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
|
|
Starvation and health The HIV/AIDS pandemic has reduced agricultural productivity and food security in poor countries. This means that fewer adults must support more people. Poverty. Desperate people adopt damaging and high-risk “survival strategies” such as selling off land or exchanging sex for food or cash. These strategies undercut people’s ability to recover and contribute to long term poverty.
|
|
Health and children Over 13 million children have been orphaned by AIDS, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and their number are expected to increase to 5 million by 2005.
|
|
Education and healthThe education system is threatened by teacher deaths because of HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa.

Labour rights/globalisationWorking in the factory is hard. We are not well treated, and if we become sick we have no protection. Do people in your country think about our conditions when they buy the shirts we make? Newak Hazari, sewing machine operator earns 1$ for a 14 hour day.

Civil rights To avoid the risk of organised protests by workers or trade unions, Cambodia is creating Export Industrial Zones. In these, the workers will live isolated from the rest of the country.

Women 90% of all garment workers are women. Most of them have migrated from poor rural areas to support their relatives. Families often leave them with barely enough to survive.

Labour rights/globalisationThe US boost its farm subsidies by a massive 70 per cent. Their products are a third cheaper than local products in countries like the Philippines, so that is a disaster for local farmers.
