Diego Cevallos

MEXICO CITY, May 11 2007 (IPS) – Patricia Pérez, an activist from Argentina who was diagnosed HIV-positive in 1986, has been nominated for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for her activism on behalf of women living with the AIDS virus. But her case is an exception to the rule.

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), three years ago there were seven or eight men with HIV/AIDS in Latin America for every woman with the virus. But today the ratio is three to one.

Pérez, the regional representative of the non-governmental International Community of Women L…

Julio Godoy

BERLIN, Nov 18 2009 (IPS) – Africa, the continent already most affected by hunger and food scarcity, is likely to see its woes increased due to climate change and the changing rain patterns it provokes, experts and scientists say.
According to data gathered by the German Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research, variability in the rain patterns in Africa, especially in the Western region, has substantially increased since the early 1980s.

Harald Kunstmann, director of the institute, says that while in the Sahel region the drought that set in through the 1970s and 1980s has not radically changed, in the Volta delta region the yearly rain precipitation amount remains constant as a whole, but now follows erratic patterns.
