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.
