Event Details
They Too tells the story of Sara Traoré, Habiba Umaru, Fidia, Madame Martine, Fátima, Inna, Adama Bagana, Salwah Mekrsh, Yande Omar y Nour Solima, women that I have met in countries such as South Sudan, the Central African refublic, nigeria, chad and bangladesh.
All of them forced to leave their homes because of violence. Those women are the ones that have tought me what it really means to fight for equality. They must also be the protagonists of the stories we tell on a daily basis.

Rohingyás, fleeing genocide
Currently there are about a million rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. A big part of them are women and children that arrived to Bangladesh fleeing from their persecution in Burma.
Although this is a big scale tragedy, it continues to happen before the passive gaze of the international community and the refugees continue to barely survive in the different refugee camps of south Bangladesh.
Castaway women
A photographic report of the three main migratory routes of the mediterranean sea; from Turkey to Greece, from Libya to Italy and from Morocco to Spain.
The majority of the protagonists of these photographs are women. They represent aproximately half of the migrating population of the world.

Natalia Sancha
Afincada en Beirut desde hace una década, Natalia Sancha es desde 2013 colaboradora de EL PAIS para Siria y Líbano. Desde el inicio de la guerra siria en marzo de 2011, la periodista ha viajado periódicamente a Siria donde ha cubierto tanto los cambiantes frentes bélicos como la lucha internacional contra el ISIS. Entre frentes, Sancha ha centrado sus reportajes sobre la realidad que asola a aquellos civiles sin medios para huir de las zonas de combates, así como sobre el impacto que ha ejercido el conflicto sobre las mujeres sirias. Tras cubrir el desborde de la contienda siria al vecino Líbano, la fotoperiodista ha seguido el consiguiente flujo de refugiados a través de Líbano, Turquía y Grecia analizando el impacto económico, político y social en la región.
A nivel regional, Sancha ha cubierto la ola de protestas populares que han sacudido Oriente Medio y los posteriores conflictos que le han sucedido en Egipto, Irak y Líbano siendo la primera periodista española en cubrir el estallido de la última guerra en Yemen. Su cobertura fotográfica ha sido publicada en agencias como AP, AFP, Transterra Media y revistas como El País Semanal, Sumus o Revista5W. Anteriormente trabajó en la región MENA en los ámbitos de la cooperación y del análisis político con publicaciones en revistas especializadas como Política Exterior y think tanks como el Real Instituto Elcano. Es coautora del libro ‘Siria. La primavera marchita’ y del libro de fotografía sobre las vidas de los sirios refugiados en el sur de Turquía: ‘Passing Through’.
Cursó Periodismo en la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y máster en Relaciones Internacionales en Sciences-Po Paris. Se graduó en 2008 del máster de Estudios Árabes Contemporáneo de Georgetown University siendo becaria Fulbright. Habla francés, árabe e inglés.

Event Details
This documentary project compiles the testimonies and heartbreaking stories of the relatives of people disappeared or murdered throughout the Mexican territory, through the use of travel postcards.
A Geography of Pain addresses the problem of violence in Mexico from within, from the stories of our families, an overarching atmosphere of nostalgia, and a portrait of the absence to which the thousands of families fractured, mutilated and abandoned by the murder or disappearance of one or several of their members.

The specific violence that is being used against women as a weapon of war and a way of unstabilizing society musn’t be obviated. We see that women not only cope with the general violence that comes with conflict but they’re also forced to endure the sexual violence that is used as another weapon of war.

Fotógrafa española. Tras licenciarme en derecho empecé a formarme en fotografía documental y fotoperiodismo, pues pronto fui consciente no solo de mi pasión por la fotografía sino también del poder de la imagen para contar algunas de las realidades con las que me encontraba. Mi trayectoria como fotógrafa viene definida por mi interés en contar lo que ocurre, por sacar a la luz realidades que en ocasiones no son visibles, por plasmar en imágenes pequeñas historias de personas anónimas que en realidad están contando cómo es el mundo en el que vivimos.
En los últimos años he trabajado en África, Oriente Medio y America Latina fotografiando diferentes temas como el conflicto armado y las minas de coltan en la R.D. del Congo, la extración de petróleo en el Delta del Niger, la violencia de Boko Haram en el noreste de Nigeria, los trabajadores agrícolas mejicanos en EEUU, las condiciones de vida de la población siria en busca de refugio en los paises vecinos o el conflicto en el Kurdistán.

“Boko Haram, a war against them”
Although Nigeria is Africa’s leading power, the economic inequity and scarce redistribution of wealth that makes the vast majority of the population feel alienated from the profits derived from the sale of oil and other economic sectors has not been overcome. This is something suffered especially by the population of the north, which has perceived unequal treatment with respect to the oil states of the south.
This discriminatory treatment, coupled with the lack of opportunities, has created a significant climate of discontent among the younger generations in northern Nigeria, who face an uncertain and bleak future.
This economic and social context allows Boko Haram to use this discontent from the outset to gain followers for his new strategy: to leave preaching as a tool for change in the background and focus on violent struggle.
The figures detail the size and scope of the deadly act of the terrorist group, responsible for 50,000 murders, around 2.7 million displaced persons and refugees throughout the region, or 10,000 women kidnapped in the last 3 years. In addition, the conflict has resulted in 5.1 million people currently suffering serious food shortages in northeastern Nigeria and around 50,000 on the brink of famine in the Lake Chad region.
The devastating consequences of conflict and displacement are multiplying for women. Family separation increases the risk of exposure to new damage and insecurities for them, who find their opportunities to survive, escape poverty or not be subjected to further violence much more limited.
The specific violence that is being used against women as a weapon of war and as a means of destabilizing society cannot be ignored. Thus we see that women are enduring the general violence of conflict and sexual violence used as a weapon of war. The woman’s body is used as a battlefield where power and the capacity for domination are exhibited.
For a long time the government denied the existence of kidnappings of women and girls. But the reality is that the abductions have not stopped and the fate of the women abducted by Boko Haram is to become the group’s sexual slaves. They are forced to marry their captors, they are raped and many have had children with them. Those who manage to flee or have been rescued face the stigma attached to them and their children.
In addition, abducted women and girls are forced by the group to immolate themselves in crowded places. To carry out these kinds of actions, they often use those abducted girls who resist the sexual claims of the group members.
Six out of ten women say they have experienced one or more forms of gender-based violence in the region. Abuses against them have skyrocketed, especially among the displaced population itself.
Girls and adolescents aged 10 to 19 are particularly at risk from mass displacement and the damage caused by material deprivation in their families. The heads of families, unable to support their daughters, often choose to marry them early.
Girls’ right to education is also seriously violated. In recent years, many have been forced to leave school by their parents for fear of being abducted, as Boko Haram denies education for women.
On the other hand, abandoning everything in order to flee means losing one’s means of subsistence. This means, in an eminently agrarian zone, losing land and livestock, highly feminized productive sectors. Women have had to abandon their work in the countryside, initially because of the risk of kidnapping involved in their work in areas far from the population centres, later because they fled to the cities or to the displaced persons’ camps.
In short, women in northern Nigeria face a multitude of dangers and violence arising from the conflict on a daily basis. However, this photographic work speaks of women who reveal themselves to the role of victims that their executioners had reserved for them, surviving women who struggle to get ahead and are the key to overcoming the conflict and for society to evolve.

Event Details
A lyrical and denouncing comic that deals with the human drama of the refugees who die in the Mediterranean. A charitable project.
“As if they had never been” is a long illustrated poem about the tragedy of those who die at sea trying to reach Europe. Today we know that in the last two decades more than 35,000 people have perished in the Mediterranean. A few months ago, a list of the disappeared was even published, many of whom do not even know their names. Earlier, in 2015, a shocking press headline appeared which was the origin of this album: “900 people could have died yesterday in the Mediterranean”. Not even his death was certain.
For all of them, for what they were and what they will be, the authors sing this shocking prayer: for the corpses of children, women and men that the waters drag to the shore, for the ghosts that nobody saw leave, for the dead that are lost forever in the depths of our sea.

Event Details
With the dictator Francisco Franco dying, King Hassan II gave the coup de grace to the Spanish presence in Western Sahara with the Green March (1975). The Spanish presence was short-lived, and the last of its troops took to the air in what became known as Operation Swallow (February 1976).
Since then almost half a century has passed and the process of decolonisation of the Sahara which the United Nations should demand is still stuck in the desert sands. There is not the slightest interest.
Spain, as the power officially responsible for the territory, and Morocco, as the de facto occupier, feel comfortable amidst the indifference of the international community.
The Alaouite kingdom built a very long wall in the middle of the desert to try to prevent the Saharawis from returning and prevent possible attacks by a Polisario Front whose military capability, without external support, is almost non-existent.
Over and above the drama of tens of thousands of refugees who have been abandoned all these decades in the refugee camps near Tindouf (Algeria), control of natural resources such as phosphates, sand, fishing and hydrocarbons continues to be in the hands of Rabat and is not attracting much interest from either the United Nations or the rest of the countries.

The plundering of our industrial potential
Plunder is not only a reality in poor and distant countries. This habitual practice of capitalism is very close to us. The greed of the multinationals, of the vulture funds, is taking away the present and the future of almost a thousand families in Galicia, those who feed the workers of Alcoa, both in A Coruña and in the Lugo Navy.
According to sources close to the Ministry of Ecological Transition, in the last ten years the American multinational has received around one billion euros in public aid.
When the multinational decided from Pittsburgh that Alcoa workers were no longer useful, they shouted YES WE SERVE. And when, from Switzerland, the funders decided to sell them to a conglomerate called Riesgo, they shouted NO to the plundering of our public resources and our workforce.

Event Details
The problem of land tenure in Colombia is the country’s oldest conflict. The struggle for control over the land’s wealth, and the right to exploit its resources, is an ongoing dispute in which the weakest link struggles for survival.
For decades the mines of Muzo, the emerald capital of the world, have produced an immense fortune for their owners. At the end of the last century, several conflicts between the emerald leaders took place to take control of the territory during the so-called ‘Green Wars’. In those days, the ‘barequeros’ –emerald seekers– gathered by the thousands around the Río Minero valley, hoping to find under the dark soil the “gem” that would bring them out of extreme poverty. After Colombian environmental laws prohibited the dumping of leftover grit and rocks from mining excavations into the river, only a few dozen “barqueros” still continue to remove the debris with their bare hands.

80% of the world’s reserve of coltan is found in the east of the DR of Congo, a
fundamental mineral for the development of the new technologies such as mobile phones, the production of computers, smart weapons and in the aeronautical industry.
There is a complex network of international interests plundering resources from the area. Neighbouring countries such as Rwanda, through which coltan leaves the DR of Congo; multinationals from all over the world, the final recipients of this illegal loot; and the Congolese rulers themselves, who are corrupt, unable to tackle the problem and responsible for country’s having to suffer through years of conflict with a multitude of armed groups operating in the area, financed by and at the service of these interests.
The miners’ working conditions are extremely tough and dangerous. Many miners, internally displaced within the conflict, come to the mines leaving other more violent zones. They must face a 15-hour working day, for hardly seven dollars a day.

After graduating from law school I started training in documentary photography and photojournalism, as I soon became aware not only of my passion for photography but also of the power of the image to tell some of the realities I encountered. My career as a photographer is defined by my interest in telling what happens, in bringing to light realities that are sometimes not visible, in capturing in images small stories of anonymous people who are actually telling what the world we live in is like.
In recent years I have worked in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America photographing different subjects such as armed conflict and coltan mines in the D.R. of Congo, oil extraction in the Niger Delta, the violence of Boko Haram in the northeast of Nigeria, Mexican agricultural workers in the USA, the living conditions of the Syrian population seeking refuge in neighbouring countries or the conflict in Kurdistan.

2019 was the worst year in the history of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Driven by the official speech by brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, several groups that operate in illegal logging, illegal gold mining and cattle raising in irregular areas felt motivated and safe to intensify their predatory activities. The result of this process has been the rise of agrarian conflicts and deaths of environmental and indigenous activists.
Specialists have detected in 2019 more than 80,000 fire points in the brazilian Amazon. The fires were more intense in August, September and October and caused an international climate crisis. Thousands of young people and environmental activists took to the streets of several global capitals to protest against Brazilian environmental conservation policies. I documented over three months the burning and the main pillars of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest such as: livestock expansion, illegal logging, gold mining, and indigenous communities under pressure.

Victor Moriyama
Is a Brazilian photojournalist based in São Paulo covering South America and the Amazon rainforest for international press and NGOS.
His works are based on a humanist photograph committed to documenting the processes of violence that prevail in social and environmental relations in Brazil. Agrarian conflicts, deforestation and conservation of tropical forests and their biodiversity, genocide of indigenous populations, acceleration of climate change are themes that have guided his photographic production in recent years.
Concerned about the scarcity of in-depth reports on conflicts in the Amazon, Victor created in 2019 the project @historiasamazonicas, a community of Latin American photographers committed to documenting contemporary processes taking place in the Amazon and defining the present. His idea is to expand world knowledge and engage global society with problems within the largest tropical forest in the world.

Web de Matria
MATRIA is the recognition of the land as the only homeland, the land in which my mother, my father, my grandmothers and all my ancestors sunk their hands into to feed us, just as 1.2 billion peasants continue to do today, feeding the planet. It is also a tribute to the peasant woman, the heart and engine of family farming, who, throughout the world, guarantees food sovereignty and security.
MATRIA is a cry of warning against the aggressions suffered by Mother Earth on the part of agribusiness or large-scale mining, fundamental pillars of a speculative economy that finds huge dividends in food and the savage exploitation of natural resources. It is also a cry for help in the face of human rights violations suffered by peasants around the world.
At the epicenter of this situation are women, who suffer additional problems such as the difficulty of access to land, a decisive issue that leads to structural discrimination (family, social and economic) that generates specific forms of violence.
Such is the transcendence of the peasantry’s problem that in December 2018 the United Nations approved the Declaration on the Rights of Peasants and Other People Working in Rural Areas.
This photographic work proposes a visual account of the reality that the Declaration aims to protect, developing four of the most relevant rights that it encumbrances and documenting situations in which these rights are violated in five different scenarios on the planet. It also provides the visual traces of the alternatives proposed by the rural community, with special attention to those in which women play a leading role.

The Human Cost of Agrotoxins
In 1996 the Argentinian government approved, only relying on studies of the Monsanto Company, the cultivation of transgenic soybeans and the use of glyphosate herbicide spray, which was employed on resistant genetically-modified crops. With nearly two decades of glyphosate spraying affecting directly or indirectly one third of the country’s population.
Argentina has become a field study in toxic disaster with hundreds of scientific studies and medical surveys confirming the herbicide’s lethal impact. The Human Cost of Agrotoxins documents the impact of 20 years of indiscriminate use of agrochemicals in the rural northeast of Argentina, and their devastating impact.

The problem of land tenure in Colombia is the country’s oldest conflict. The struggle for control over the land’s wealth, and the right to exploit its resources, is an ongoing dispute in which the weakest link struggles for survival.
For decades the mines of Muzo, the emerald capital of the world, have produced an immense fortune for their owners. At the end of the last century, several conflicts between the emerald leaders took place to take control of the territory during the so-called ‘Green Wars’. In those days, the ‘barequeros’ –emerald seekers– gathered by the thousands around the Río Minero valley, hoping to find under the dark soil the “gem” that would bring them out of extreme poverty. After Colombian environmental laws prohibited the dumping of leftover grit and rocks from mining excavations into the river, only a few dozen “barqueros” still continue to remove the debris with their bare hands.

Amazon Deforestation
2019 was the worst year in the history of deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Driven by the official speech by brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, several groups that operate in illegal logging, illegal gold mining and cattle raising in irregular areas felt motivated and safe to intensify their predatory activities. The result of this process has been the rise of agrarian conflicts and deaths of environmental and indigenous activists. Specialists have detected in 2019 more than 80,000 fire points in the brazilian Amazon. The fires were more intense in August, September and October and caused an international climate crisis. Thousands of young people and environmental activists took to the streets of several global capitals to protest against Brazilian environmental conservation policies. I documented over three months the burning and the main pillars of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest such as: livestock expansion, illegal logging, gold mining, and indigenous communities under pressure.

Victor Moriyama
Is a Brazilian photojournalist based in São Paulo covering South America and the Amazon rainforest for international press and NGOS.
His works are based on a humanist photograph committed to documenting the processes of violence that prevail in social and environmental relations in Brazil. Agrarian conflicts, deforestation and conservation of tropical forests and their biodiversity, genocide of indigenous populations, acceleration of climate change are themes that have guided his photographic production in recent years.
Concerned about the scarcity of in-depth reports on conflicts in the Amazon, Victor created in 2019 the project @historiasamazonicas, a community of Latin American photographers committed to documenting contemporary processes taking place in the Amazon and defining the present. His idea is to expand world knowledge and engage global society with problems within the largest tropical forest in the world.

MST: Land, Justice and Rights
The Landless Rural Workers Movement – MST, a Brazilian social movement that fights for agrarian reform and social justice.
It originates in opposition to the more concentrated and exclusionary model of agrarian reform imposed by the military regime, including selective agricultural modernization, which excluded small farmers, mainly in the 1970s.
The MST fundamentally seeks to redistribute unproductive lands.
The group is among the largest social movements in Latin America with a membership of 1.5 million landless peasants organised across 24 of Brazil’s 27 states.
The group is among the main social movements in Latin America, with 1,500 people in the country, organized in 24 of the 27 states in Brazil.
Since the movement’s creation in January 1984, they were killed 1.722 activists of the movement.

Documentary: Retomadas, A loita Indíxena
Direction and script: Xosé Abad
Running time: 22′
A temporary reserve turned into eternal condemnation. Unfulfilled promises of land restitution, overcrowding, racism, and scarcity of means of survival in the heart of a devastated wasteland, transformed into a gigantic area of multi-intensive cultivation of sugar cane and transgenic soy for the production of biodiesel. This is the reality of the 17,000 indigenous people of the Guarani and Kaiowá ethnic groups who live confined to little more than the 3,400 hectares that make up the Dourados Reserve.
Retaking the land and freedom
While time goes by without anything happening, some indigenous people, those who can no longer bear the confinement in the nothingness, exercise again and again a strategy of struggle and resistance under the word Retomada (Retaken). Families who leave the Reserve and risk building their hut in a territory that has already been officially handed over to the landowners but is still unproductive. It is an unequal war, one that pits force against resilience. The night attacks follow one after the other. The landowners’ security forces set fire to and destroy their wooden huts and tarpaulins, rob them of their meager belongings and, even more seriously, snatch and destroy their documents to leave them, officially, without an identity. Nothing stops them. Neither the aggressors nor the Guaranis, who once and again rebuild their barracks, knowing that success doesn’t come by the time spent in freedom but by the philosophy that underlies and feeds this resistance. To take back what is theirs, peacefully.

Matria
MATRIA es el reconocimiento de la tierra como única patria, la tierra en la que mi madre, mi padre, mis abuelas y todos mis antepasados hundieron las manos para alimentarnos, tal y como lo siguen haciendo 1200 millones de campesinos que en la actualidad alimentan al planeta. Es además un homenaje a la mujer campesina, corazón y motor de la agricultura familiar, que, a lo largo y ancho del planeta, garantiza la soberanía y la seguridad alimentarias.
MATRIA es un grito de alerta ante las agresiones que sufre la madre tierra por parte de la agroindustria o la gran minería, pilares fundamentales de una economía especulativa que encuentra en la alimentación y la explotación salvaje de los recursos naturales ingentes dividendos. Es también un grito de socorro frente a las violaciones de los derechos humanos que sufre el colectivo campesino en el mundo.
En el epicentro de esta situación se encuentra la mujer, que sufre problemas añadidos como la dificultad en el acceso a la tierra, cuestión determinante que propicia una discriminación estructural (familiar, social y económica) que genera violencias específicas.
Tal es la trascendencia del problema del campesinado que en diciembre de 2018 Naciones Unidas aprobaba la Declaración sobre los derechos de los campesinos y otras personas que trabajan en zonas rurales.
Este trabajo fotográfico propone un relato visual de la realidad que la Declaración pretende proteger, desarrollando cuatro de los derechos más relevantes que encumbra y documentando situaciones en las que estos son violados en cinco escenarios distintos del planeta. También se aportan las huellas visuales de las alternativas propuestas desde la comunidad rural, con especial atención a aquellas protagonizadas por la mujer.

Atrapadas
“Impossible to differentiate one day from another. Difficult to trust that something will happen that can change things. The routine of survival is imposed on the misery of knowing that, after a long journey, after resisting bombings and enduring the harshness of the road, we arrived at this situation. Europe became an immense disappointment, almost unassimilable, for the “lucky” ones who arrived alive in the Old Continent.“
ATRAPADAS tells the story of Somod, Aicha, Amal, Anin, Zahraa, and Hasisa, Syrian women refugees in the port of Piraeus in Greece, one of the largest camps for refugees fleeing the war in Syria.
Two actresses give body and voice to the real witnesses of these women who tell us about their flight from war: the hard journey to Piraeus, hunger, rape, sanitary conditions, separation of families … They unravel their lives with words.
ATRAPADAS relies on the story of the actresses and everyday objects, which illustrate the narrative and take on a strong symbolic power.

The Migration Crisis
Marina Dos Santos
was born in Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil. She is the daughter of small farmers and as a teenager decided to go to the Convent as the only way to continue studying. Then, in 1988, when she was doing an internship at the convent, she met the Movimento Sem Terra – MST.
The MST is a Popular Movement that fights for land, Agrarian Reform, and the transformation of society. Today after 37 years of organization, struggle, and resistance, it organizes landless families and occupies unproductive large estates, which do not fulfill their social function, in 24 states of Brazil and organizes, also, settlements, conquered areas, mainly for food production. Its main project is summarized in the Agrarian Program, the result of the last congress held in 2014.
In 1996, she was transferred by the National Directorate of the MST to help organize the Movement in the state of Rio de Janeiro, where she contributed to the consolidation of the Movement.
In 2006, she assumed the coordination of the Movement’s National Office, in Brasilia. She was responsible for the follow-up of the national agenda negotiations with the Federal Government, the systematic follow-up of the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI of the MST in the National Congress), and the organizational follow-up of the Via Campesina do Brasil.
Via Campesina is an international movement of coordination and struggle of peasants, small and medium farmers, rural women, indigenous peoples, rural youth, artisanal fisherfolk, afro-descendant peoples, agricultural workers, and rural wage earners. It is an autonomous, plural, multicultural and independent movement with no political, economic, or other affiliation.
At the end of her mandate in Brasilia, she was transferred to Rio Grande do Norte, to manage the organization, formation, and articulation of society in the state, also in neighboring states, and throughout the northeastern region.
In 2012, she returned to the state of Rio de Janeiro, and during this period, in addition to attending university, she worked in the Mass Front sector of the state and the National Direction of the Movement. He was a representative in the International Coordination of Via Campesina for South America until July 2017. She was also responsible for the follow-up of the Latin American Coordination of Field Organizations (CLOC).
Since 1993, Marina has traveled to 33 countries, always with the MST and Via Campesina. For the last six years, together with another comrade, she has been coordinating the MST’s Mass Front Sector, acting in the National Directorate with this responsibility. He is also a member of the Pedagogical Political Commission of the Florestan Fernandes National School for the Mass Front Sector, is part of the National Coordination of Via Campesina do Brasil for the MST, and at the international level accompanies the Via Campesina Working Group: Land, Water and Territory, a group that is also responsible for the campaign for Agrarian Reform and against transnati Since 1993, Marina has traveled to 33 countries, always with the MST and Via Campesina.

Musical introduction: Richi Casas
He is a virtuoso saxophonist, who cultivates very diverse styles, always in the key of emotion. He played in the orchestra Los Satélites, and was a founding member of the bravura ensemble Los Papaqueixos. The central argument of his final concert, specializing in jazz at the Conservatory of A Coruña, were the recordings that the musicologist Dorothé Schubarth made for his grandmother, Rosa, in Cerceda in the 70s. Among other projects, Richi Casás was the musical director of the “Pardiñazo”, a great concert (more than three hours of music, eleven musicians on stage), created for the celebration of the XL anniversary of the Pardiñas Festival, in Guitiriz.

Brazil, Country hunger.
Is a work that began in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city of São Paulo, initially portraying the waste of food that occurs in the city’s street markets.
With the advancement of the pandemic in the country, social inequality in the country only increased causing people to lose their jobs and consequently one of their most basic rights, to eat, taking Brazil back to the map of Misery in the world.

No refuge from hunger
Dariya, Aisha, Yagana and Fatoumata have fled the violence caused by Boko Haram in their communities. They witnessed the murder of their husbands, the forced recruitment of their sons and the abduction of their daughters. In their flight, they crossed deserts and borders, leaving behind their homes and livelihoods that were already scarce.
In 2014 Abubakar Sheku, leader of Boko Haram, begins his legacy of barbarism with the kidnapping of 200 girls in a school in the town of Chibock, who join the more than 3,000 who were kidnapped since 2014, recruited as sex slaves, sold and forced into marriage. But it is only one of the multiple operations of their cruel and savage actions in the Lake Chad region.
The Lake Chad basin comprises 4 countries: Cameroon, Nigeria, Niger and Chad. It has been the scene of clashes between Boko Haram and military forces for years. In the midst of this conflict, as in all wars, the main victim is the civilian population.
Violence by this and related jihadist groups has caused a humanitarian crisis of extreme proportions and forced the displacement of some 2.5 million people throughout the region.
According to the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), more than 37,500 people have died in the conflict as of July 31, 2020.
Different humanitarian organizations estimate that more than 10 million people are in need of life-saving protection and humanitarian aid.
In addition to forced displacement, rapes and kidnappings, killings and attacks, there is hunger: the other wound of this war.
Some of the displaced people have found refuge in communities that were already facing survival challenges, putting more pressure on scarce local resources. However, most have been stranded in the middle of the desert with no water and no food. No shelter from hunger.
