“Synthesis No. 2 (Poems from Bukavu)”, by Judite Canha Fernandes
“Synthesis No. 2 (Poems from Bukavu)” pays tribute to the women who struggle for land in the African continent and other parts of the world.

Demilitarization is a matter of political urgency for many peoples around the world.

People’s lives are not disposable, and women’s bodies are not battlefields!
