In honor of Women's History Month, we are proud to present reportage about the courageous efforts of a group of women fighters who fought for change and independence in their country.
For 30 years, Eritrea's women warriors battled side-by-side with men to liberate their homeland from Ethiopian rule. Illiterate and past the desirable adolescent age of marriage, the battle-hardened women veterans returned from the trenches to discover they had yet another war to fight: for equal rights, for freedom from genital mutilation, for economic and educational opportunities.
