Mine-clearing in Sri Lanka | DW Documentary

Подробнее о видео

After decades of civil war, over a million landmines remain in the ground in Sri Lanka. Women are on the frontline of the demining effort. Fifteen years after Sri Lanka's brutal civil war, its northern lands remain littered with deadly landmines. They are a haunting reminder of the conflict’s survivors, who lost everything. On behalf of the Halo Trust, an NGO clearing landmines, women like Chandradevi and Sasireka, war widows and single mothers, are taking on the perilous task of demining — rebuilding their lives and their communities, one patch of land at a time. We travelled to the north of Sri Lanka to witness their daily work and see what challenges these communities face. A report by DW’s Akanksha Saxena.
