EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and striking image captures a group of young African women in Mozambique, standing confidently in a wooded area with two of them holding rifles. The date is around 1972, during a time of conflict and struggle for independence in the country. These women exude strength and determination as they pose for the camera, embodying the spirit of resistance and defiance against oppression. In a male-dominated world of warfare and combat, these fearless females stand out as symbols of courage and resilience. The presence of guns in their hands symbolizes their readiness to defend themselves and fight for their rights. As soldiers or guerrilla fighters, these young women play an active role in shaping the history of Mozambique and Africa as a whole. Their faces reflect both innocence and maturity, highlighting the harsh realities they have had to face at such a young age. Despite their tender years, these girls are already seasoned warriors in the battle for freedom and independence. This print serves as a reminder of the untold stories of countless African women who have played pivotal roles in armed conflicts throughout history. It is a testament to their unwavering commitment to fighting injustice and securing a better future for generations to come.
