All VANDANA SHIVA Quotes about “Children”

“I saw some women had written that the cloning of Dolly was wonderful since it showed that women could have children without men. They didnÂ’t even understand that this was the ultimate ownership of womenÂ—of embryos, of eggs, of bodiesÂ—by a few men with capital and control techniques, that it wasnÂ’t freedom from men but total control by men.”
“Today you have a situation where now the prescription is: People who donÂ’t have enough money to buy food should end up paying for their drinking water. That is going to be the kind of situation in which you will get more child labor. You will get more exploitation of women. YouÂ’re going to get an absolutely exploitative economy as the very basis of living becomes a source of capital accumulation and corporate growth. In fact, the chief of Coca-Cola in India said: Â“Our biggest market in India comes from the fact that there is no drinking water left. People will have to buy Coca-Cola.”
“The poorest of families, the poorest of children, are subsidizing the growth of the largest agribusinesses in the world. I think itÂ’s time we recognized that in free trade the poor farmer, the small farmer, is ending up having to pay royalties to the Monsantos of the world.”
