Portuguese to English: Interview with public health officer in Brazil for Tobacco research by Marty Otañez, PhD, University of Colorado, Denver General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Anthropology
Source text - Portuguese Original script of the interview:
O controle do tabaco e direitos humanos faz você perceber que a epidemia tragística no mundo, está relacionada com a produção do tabaco e o consumo; você não consegue disvincular uma coisa da outra. É importante ter em mente a quantidade de violações dos direitos humanos que acontecem com a exploração do trabalho infantil, exploração das mulheres, com intoxicação de pesticidas, com uma série de fatores ligados aos direitos humanos que precisam ser considerados e abordados nos instrumentos de controle de Tabaco para que a gente consiga ter uma abordagem mais ampla e uma visão integral do problema. E não abordar apenas uma ponta do cigarro que é a produção do tabaco.
Translation - English Translation:
Tobacco control and human rights makes you aware of a world tobacco epidemic, and it is related to the tobacco production and consumption; you cannot disconnect one from the other. It is important to keep in mind the countless human rights violations that occur as in exploitation of child labor, of women, pesticide poisoning that, and a series of factors linked to human rights that need to be addressed by the instruments of tobacco control, so we can have an integral vision and address the issue in a larger perspective, and not only address a specific point, as tobacco production.

Translation - Portuguese Uma greve contra a demissão de um outro companheiro militante numa jornada que nós havíamos promovido de luta contra as horas extras. E em 1992, numa negociação do sindicato, a Ford me re-incorporou. To lá até hoje. Em 1978, quando ocorreram as primeiras grandes, a primeira grande greve do ABC. Uma grande [pas clair – 3.35] da história, e depois aconteceu na Ford. Eu era trabalhador da Ford mas não era um militante sindical. Depois tivemos as greves de 80, 81. E em 1981 nós conquistamos na fábrica da Ford a primeira comissão de fábrica do ABC, e eu diria que é a comissão de fábrica que depois virou o modelo de organização no qual o trabalho que nós passamos a desenvolver.
