Prisoners

The Ghanaian Eva received five pigs and information to learn how to care. At the time managed to have 400, could buy more land and a motorcycle to get products to market, overlooked the town and move faster to reach the hospital.

Eva's case is just one example of the benefits of investing in farming, not only for their rights, but by their communities and development in general, said Danielle Mutone-Smith, director of agricultural and trade policies of the organization Government Women Thrive Worldwide (women thrive in the world).

Women have less access to fertilizers, seed varieties, livestock, equipment and other supplies and credit and education, which will diminish their productivity in comparison with the possibilities as men, concludes the annual report of the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), released last week.

The situation varies from place to place, but the equation of lower production due to lack of availability of resources is "the closest we can come to a generalization in relation to" the farmers, said Terri Raney, FAO economist and editor of "State of Food and Agriculture."

Fifty percent of the rural population in developing countries are women, but only between three and 20 percent own the land, according to available data.

Increase resources available for rural women, what the document calls for closing the "gender gap" is a step towards economic development and equity, and combat malnutrition.

With the same resources available to men, women can increase productivity between 20 and 30 percent, raising agricultural production in developing countries from 2.5 to four percent, the FAO estimates. This volume
food
results from 100 million to 150 million undernourished people less, or a decrease of 12 to 17 percent.

"We talked about 100 million people whose lives can change with just match the ground," said Mutone-Smith. Implementation on track



A large proportion of workers in the world working in the agricultural sector, Raney noted.

"Women are important to agriculture and vice versa," he said. "An agricultural policy involves a gender policy, as most are farmers," he added.

decades ago that donors know that relationship, but their actions were expanded in recent years, perhaps because greater awareness of the role that agricultural productivity plays economic development and the importance of women in the sector, Eija Peju, responsible for the work on gender and agriculture in the World Bank.

The World Bank prioritized this perspective in 2007 with the implementation of Gender Action Plan to improve access of women to work, property rights, financial services and agricultural inputs as well as policies to ensure that the subject projects listed in the institution.

"Two or three decades that the case is in the air, Peju said. "But it changed in 2008," he said.

Pehu mentioned a project that allowed many women in Mali obtain an export product with higher added value and increase their income, and one in Kosovo to train and help those who were unaware of their rights to land ownership.

FAO recommends narrowing the gender gap through inputs and ensuring that women have the same legal rights as men to inherit land, open bank accounts and sign contracts. The process requires changing legislation and ensure its implementation, Raney said.

The World Bank has a gender equity project in Ethiopia, where government and donors use two ways to ensure the right of women to land. The easiest involves adding more space on the certificates property to bring two photographs and the names of both spouses. The second, more complex, map properties with satellite technology.

United States also believes that women and girls should be a priority for investment to achieve global development, such as Feed the Future initiative and the Global Programme for Food Security and Agriculture.

Secretary of State (Foreign Minister) Hillary Rodham Clinton, changed the proverb "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach him to fish and he eats for life" and said "if you were trained to feed fish to a woman the whole village. "

gender policies in Lebanon, forgotten

No connections no money is very difficult for refugees and migrant workers without documents to escape the prolonged detention in prisons in Lebanon. Very few detainees

receive institutional support from their embassies. Mixed with criminals and murderers, most prisoners spend months, even years, before appearing before a judge.

The offense is committed because they have no passport was confiscated when they arrived in Lebanon or because they never had.

There are also cases of mistaken identity. "I went through this situation a year after arriving in Lebanon after fleeing death threats in Algeria for being transgender," said Randa told IPS.

"When I tried to renew my visa, I told my man's name was equal to that of a Lebanese who had deserted the military service and why I had stopped, but I thought that the Algerian embassy was involved, "he said.

told him dam would be 24 hours for questioning, but was several months. The man dressed in linen and placed in the men's section, apparently in order to agree to be deported.

"I left more than 60 days prey while studying the form of sport. They put a man with a skin disease on my cell to intimidate me, "he added.

Cases like Randa violated Article 9.1 of International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which protects individuals from arbitrary detention without trial, a study of the Lebanese Center for Human Rights. Foreigners arrested

who served sentences represent nearly 13 percent of the prison population, the study "Arbitrary detention and torture: the stark reality of Lebanon."

At least nine Iraqis registered with the High Commissioner for Refugees United Nations were expelled to their country last year after a long period of detention.

authorities routinely resort to arbitrary arrests of foreigners as a way to stem immigration.

"Several Iraqi refugees we met at the jail said they ventured to enter without documents knowing that they could be arrested. This country is likely to send you to another and quickly," said Marie Daunay, Human Rights Center .

"The authorities would do better to respect the rights of refugees and to stop them leaving to enter the country illegally and deport them," he said.

"So Lebanon would no longer be considered a hostile country, but an opportunity for refugees. Not to mention that receive international assistance. After all, just enter the territory," he said.

This country ratified the UN Convention against Torture in 2000, but the living conditions of prisoners are deplorable due to overcrowding and lack of medical care.

The Adlieh Detention Center, located under a bridge that was used as a parking lot, does not fall into the category of prison. It is rather an enclosure to keep people up to 48 hours.

But prisoners remain several weeks, even months, underground in an area without sufficient ventilation. There are usually between 30 and 35 people crammed into 13 cells, forcing them to be sitting or standing in compact spaces where they can barely stretch their legs.

Detainees suffer reduced bone and muscle mass, lose vision and have other health problems, in addition to psychological distress.

"The immigrant workers lost years of his life in detention," said Josie, a Filipina who works independently. "The way to avoid this is to allow the person to keep your passport and leave the employer is left with a photocopy," he said.

The Observatory for the Protection of Human Rights Defenders, on Thursday called on the Lebanese authorities to stop harassing physical, psychological and judicial representatives of the Lebanese Centre for Human Rights.

The Observatory is a joint program International Federation of Human Rights and World Organisation Against Torture
