Cartier accused of Greenwashing after using images of Indigenous Yanomami tribe devastated by illegal gold mining without their permission!- Short 1:39 film on TikTok! | Barbara Crane Navarro

This frame, which was removed from Cartier’s website, features an image of four Yanomami children playing in a lush green field while at the top of the page are links to purchase high-end jewelry. The French luxury jewelry brand said it was working to promote the culture of the Indigenous people and protect the rainforest. But the project that the site described never took place, and Cartier took down the photo when contacted by The Associated Press. (Cartier via AP)

Fabiano Maisonnave wrote a thorough overview of the important issue of corporate greenwashing and the informed consent of Indigenous peoples.

I didn’t realize until I read the AP article by Fabiano Maisonnave that using Indigenous images for publicity without informed consent is not only unethical but, in Brazil, illegal!

Cartier’s use of images of Amazon tribe prompts Indigenous advocates to allege hypocrisy!

Dário Kopenawa, vice-president of the Hutukara Yanomami Association, said he believes that, ‘anyone who buys a gold ring is part of the crime.’

Júnior Hekurari, a member of the Indigenous group and head of the Yanomami’s health council says: ‘How can a gold jewelry company, which we, the Yanomami people, are against, use the image of the Yanomami?

When someone buys gold in a jewelry store, he is financing more invasions to destroy Indigenous lands’ he said. ‘It is not just a matter of extracting gold. It is a matter of reaping lives.’”

Violência Doméstica – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Outro dia, eu escrevi um texto que fala sobre violência doméstica e fatores importantes que não devem ser ignorados, quando dentro da família, se observa que estes, convergem para uma relação doentia. Chamei atenção da mulher em relação à violência e tudo aquilo que ela não deve se prestar a fazer por conta de situações que interferem em seus direitos como mulher. Família é boa, mas quando as pessoas conseguem se relacionar de forma saudável.
