The Project
Present | Future | Past

There are currently no landmine survivors’ networks directed specifically towards women in Angola.

The
Miss Landmine project is a possible nucleus for a national female landmine survivor’s network through a CBR (Community Based Rehabilitaion) -programme with practical guidance and support from national authorities (CNIDAH) and international NGOs.

Depending on the level of commitment from local authorities, each participant may be assigned as a
Miss Landmine representative in her own province, with responsibilities of coordinating and providing information and assistance to other women in the same situation and monitoring ways of empowerment, such as education and specialized health care.

We are hopeful that a successful
Miss Landmine pilot event will function as a catalyst, both to Angola and internationally in other landmine-affected countries, for the project to grow and develop, with or without the assistance of the original Miss Landmine team.
