Video: Vandana Shiva speaks on International Women's Day and GMOs

Stating categorically that "Capitalist patriarchy has aggravated violence against women", Dr Vandana Shiva was interviewed by Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! on International Women's Day.

Dr. Shiva is an Indian feminist, an activist and thinker. She is well known as being the original "tree hugger" who, with friends, saved many trees during her younger days. She speaks out strongly against genetically modified organisms and maintains that no corporation has the right to patent life. Dr. Shiva is an author of many books, with the latest being "Making Peace with the Earth."

In the video, Dr. Shiva discusses the impact on women by what she calls the world’s "violent economic order," and the women-led uproar over sexual violence in India triggered by last year’s brutal gang rape and murder of a 23-year-old student in Delhi. Amy Goodman then asks Dr. Shiva, a world-renowned physicist, for her take on the recent U.S. Supreme Court case which has pitted an Indiana farmer against the agri-giant Monsanto.

The hidden story about vaccines, autism, drugs and food… Americas health has been BOUGHT. Your health, your family’s health. Now brought to you by Wall Street… “If you thought they hurt us with the banks, wait till you see what they’re doing to health care.” Vaccines. GMOs. Big Pharma. Three big, BIG, okay… HUGE topics in one film. Why? Why not 3 films, why put all this in one movie? Great question, 2 answers. 1st and most importantly: We need to band together. We need a mainstream film, not another radical movie that only interests the “already converted”. Over 5 million people supported Prop 37 in CA. Reportedly, over 2 million worldwide marched against Monsanto in a global protest. T...vaccine expansion, and our love affair with pharmaceuticals- it’s the same villain. It’s a risky story to tell, but would be a tragedy to passively consent to with silence. There is something horribly wrong with health care today. Huge money, billions and billions of dollars flowing into the same pockets. Meanwhile, MD’s aren’t being allowed to actually practice the art of medicine and anyone who questions vaccination safety, pharmaceuticals, factory farms, etc. is ridiculed and belittled. Meanwhile, the billions keep flowing, carried on a river of pain and anguish. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time. Three huge stories, each worthy of multiple films, but each brought together by one staggering fact: it’s the same villain. These three story lines converge on Wall Street, in a tale of corruption, greed and shocking lack of conscience.
