Mildre Lima discusses the health effects she suffered as a result of pesticides she was exposed to while working in tobacco fields in North Carolina.
The “Big 6” pesticide companies — Monsanto, Dow, BASF, Bayer, Syngenta and DuPont — will be held on trial from Dec. 3 through 6 in Bangalore, India for 25 individual cases regarding human rights abuses.
The Pesticide Action Network of North America has a petition you can sign supporting the victims here.
