The Island of Widowed Women in Nicaragua

CHICHIGALPA, CHINANDEGA, NICARAGUA - 2015/10/07: Protesters are seen burning trees on the street as demonstrations and clashes with the police have become too common in Chichigalpa. The patients demand that they at least pay for the medicines and can receive a sickness pension. An epidemic of chronic kidney disease of unknown cause (CKDu) is now living in the Chichigalpa community of the Nicaraguan Pacific Coast. This disease mainly affects the younger men who work in the cane plantations. Some scientists suggest that the disease is related to the use of pesticides and fungicides with toxic substances (such as glyphosate) and the extreme working conditions such as high temperatures, excessive physical effort, dehydration, hours under the sun, without right to somba spaces. This is a reality throughout the Central American coast with Nicaragua is the most affected country. According to the Pan American Health Organization, 3,442 men died between 2005 and 2009.
