In a historic announcement on International Women's Day, Heidi Kuhn, the visionary founder of Roots of Peace, a humanitarian non-profit dedicated to eradicating landmines, shared groundbreaking initiatives aimed at fostering global collaboration for a landmine-free world, Ednews reports.

Proudly addressing a worldwide audience, Kuhn highlighted the organization's partnership with the International Eurasia Press Fund (IEPF) and ANAMA, a leading demining organization. This collaboration marks a significant step towards achieving the shared goal of ridding the Earth of the deadly remnants of conflict.

On this International Women's Day, Kuhn expressed her pride in joining the courageous demining women of Africa in walking the mine fields of Angola. She emphasized the importance of collective efforts in bringing about world peace, emphasizing that the journey begins with the removal of a single landmine and the planting of a seed of life.

Drawing on generational wisdom passed down worldwide, Kuhn called upon individuals globally to rally behind the establishment of the 18th Sustainable Development Goal. Umid, President of IEPF, ANAMA, and Azerbaijan, invoked the vision for this goal, urging all to join in this vital mission.

As the world gears up for COP29, Kuhn urged participants to approach the conference with substance and grounding knowledge in 2024. The call resonates with the hope that the roots of peace will be firmly planted on Earth, transforming mines into vines and swords into plowshares. The ultimate aim is to fulfill the prophetic vision where nations no longer lift swords against each other, and war becomes a relic of the past.

In closing, Heidi Kuhn extended warm wishes for a Happy International Women's Day to all, emphasizing the pivotal role women play in shaping a safer and more peaceful world. The collective efforts of Roots of Peace and its partners signify a powerful step toward a future where the scourge of landmines is eradicated, and the seeds of peace blossom across the globe.
