Belainesh Seyoum is among tens of thousands of Eritrean women who fought on the front lines during her country's 30-year war of independence. Indoctrinated into a world of trench warfare, Kalashnikovs and men, she believed war would not only ensure her country's future but a lasting shift in the status of women. Now, years later, working as a spokesperson for the National Union of Eritrean Women, Belainesh sets out on a journey into one of Eritrea's poorest regions and soon discovers that in the battle for equality the new front line is in poor rural communities.
