Western Sahara: Determined

Sahrawi women risk their lives to clear ancestral lands of mines

Get short URL

Western Sahara is one of the most heavily mined territories in the world following decades of conflict with its neighbours.

Now, some brave young women have taken it upon themselves to clear their ancestral lands of landmines so their people can return.
