Deeply moved to open “Witnessing a Way Forward” this past week.

Curated by one of the most courageous people I know, Giles Duley, our new United Nations exhibit explores the powerful stories of those directly affected by land mines. un.org/en/exhibits/ex…

#Ukraine is the most mined country in the world

At least 1,100 civilians have been killed or injured by mines and explosive remnants of war since February 2022.

Humanitarians are improving safety by conducting mine clearance and providing risk education across the country.

“The landmine left me a triple amputee, and I know what it's like to rebuild your life. I'm lucky that a year later, I was able to walk, able to return to photography, & I was trying to set an example for those injured, like me.”
