Age: 28

Sokhia is part of an all-women de-mining team in Cambodia. When she first took the job Sokhia was very nervous about working in a live-mine area. But with careful training and the support of her more experienced colleagues, she has grown in confidence.

Mines in Cambodia

Cambodia is burdened with the legacy of its troubled past - an estimated 4 - 6 million landmines litter the countryside
The Mines Advisory Group (MAG) has worked in Cambodia for more than 12 years, and now has 22 Mine Action Teams like Sokhia’s
The work of these teams is crucial for removing the remnants of conflict so that people can go about their daily lives without fear of death or injury from landmines
