Some of the most egregious injustices that people opposed to Canadian companies such as Goldcorp, Pacific Rim, Hudbay Minerals, Blackfire Exploration, and Fortuna Silver have experienced in Central America and which have been documented include murder, the gang rape of women, and ongoing death threats to community leaders. I have personally witnessed significant social disruption, health harms (skin lesions, loss of hair, depression, community divisions), reduced potable water, noise pollution, poor air quality, and weakened adobe homes due to blasting while visiting villagers of San Miguel Ixtahuacan, home to Goldcorp’s Marlin mine as a nursing instructor with senior level nursing students since 2007.
