Champa Devi by Micha Patault
Champa Devi

Women raising the sign of Chingari Trust. Champa and Rashida Bee are survivors of gas but they still have after-effects. They were the pioneers in the fight for justice in Bhopal by creating, since 1987, two trade unions of women survivors: the Bhopal Gas Peedit Mahila Udyog Sangathan (BGPMUS), and the Bhopal Gas PeeditMmahila Stationery Karmachari Sangh (BGPMSKS).

Champa : "We don't want Warren Anderson put to death. We want to see him put in a dark cell somewhere, in prison. We want him to feel what we felt, when we were separated from our children, when our husbands died, when we couldn't see our families any more." Rashida Bee: "Why, we asked them*, are you following a double standard** ? A human life is worth the same, whether they live in America or in the jungles of India. A human life should be worth the same."

You can help these childs with donations.
