“Sembrando Semillas, Volando Papalotes” – la perspectiva de las mujeres de comunidades de la Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca

Yuubani, el área de las mujeres en la organización UNOSJO (Unión de Organizaciones de la Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca), nos permitió presentar el articulo ‘Sembrando Semillas, Volando Papalotes’ que se hizo en resultado de una reunión de mujeres en Guelatao, Agosto 2009. En esa reunión ellas reflexionaron sobre sus vidas como mujeres y las diferentes formas en que existe la violencia dentro de sus familias y sus comunidades, incluyendo los usos y costumbres.

“Sembrando Semillas, Volando Papalotes” – la perspectiva de las mujeres de comunidades de la Sierra Juárez, Oaxaca

One month after being burned to the ground, independent radio station relaunches in Honduras.

On January 6th, the community radio station "Faluma Bimetu- the first voice from the Garifuna community" was attacked by an unknown group, who set fire to the station in the early hours of the morning. Unfortunately most of the equipment and the building could not be recovered. However the community continues to resist and now, one month after the attack, the radio is back on the air and offering programs that focus on resistence and the Garifuna community in Honduras.
