TYRE, Lebanon, Aug 8 (IPS) - "Mine action is a male dominated sector, but it
doesn't have to be," declares Christina Bennike, the
dynamic head of Danish charity Dan Church Aid (DCA) in south
Lebanon. "I really felt it would be important to address this
from the beginning, then it would be natural instead of something
different or unique."
