My body is me

La Tribu
FM La Tribu(01/31/2008)
La Tribu is a Buenos Aires community radio station created on 19 June 1989 by a group of public university students. Since then, the project's founders – social communication and sociology students at the University of Buenos Aires – have managed a media/communication/cultural space through a civil non-profit organization.
A story investigating the trafficking of women for sexual exploitation in Argentina. One investigation doesn't solve a socio-cultural pattern or a public policy. It is certain that there would be no exploitation if there were no clients; that marginalization decreases when there is no hunger, and that the traffic can be controlled through the absence of impunity. It is certain that the economic system requires financial movement, regardless of where the money comes from, and much less from whom and how. It is certain that the neighbor said that his wife saw that near her aunt's place, an underage girl appeared forced to do something she did not want to do. It is certain that the distribution of income is not a statistical measure, but rather the good or bad that a person can experience in his or her life. It is certain that exceptions, not proceedings, resolve justice. And it is also certain that habit makes the obscene normal. And of course, it also is certain that if everything that should happen did happen, this world would be different."

Farhad's last will

Nazira Zhusupova
Radio Most(09/03/2008)
I am a reporter for Radio Bridge community radio and a host of the "My right" weekly radio program. We cover violations of human rights in our reports and have a bi-monthly live program with our citizen journalists from various villages of Talas region, where we discuss human rights in their villages and inform villagers of the rights they are entitled to. Villagers can tell the live audiences about their problems where their rights are infringed, and the experts we invite give them counseling.
Two years ago a villager from Ozgorush, Talas region, Farhad Kangeldiev, was kidnapped and taken to Almaty in Kazakhstan. Farhad managed to escape from slavery and appalling conditions in which he was forced to live and work there. Back home, he told his parents that there are 40 more Kyrgyz workers kept in Kazakh steppes. They are beaten up, abused, some of them dying. Farhad died a month ago after all the abuse he was subjected to in slavery. This is just one example of the growing trend of trafficking in people in our region; it also shows why it is so easy for criminals to find their victims in backwater Kyrgyz villages where young people have no future. This report illustrates Articles 4 and 23 of the UDHR.

Clinic transfuses HIV blood to 2-year-old

Gabriel Kamlomo
Zodiak Broadcasting Station(07/11/2008)
This author also reported on human rights violations by police in Malawi centering on an incident in which seven people died in a police cell at a police station. The story further revealed the disappearance (until today) of three suspected rogues.
A family of four, the youngest member being two and half years live in a remote setting served by a single mission hospital in Malawi. When the youngest member of the family Jeffrey is struck by the deadly malaria, his mother takes him to the sole but ill equipped catholic mission hospital called Mua where a consultant western clinical officers prescribes blood transfusion as the baby is badly anemic. It later transpires that the blood used had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The hospital tries to hide it all by authorizing free medication for the baby indefinitely. This is later withdrawn when this reporter gets wind of the matter and starts probing. This contravenes Article 25 of the UDHR as everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family.
