  • Luong Hoai Thuong does her homework. She was born without her left hand, a birth defect caused by Agent Orange remaining from the U.S. war against Vietnam. During the Vietnam War, US forces sprayed Agent Orange over forests and farmland in an attempt to deprive Viet Cong guerrillas of cover and food. The dioxin compound used in the defoliant is a long-acting toxin that can be passed down genetically, so it is still having an impact forty years on. The Vietnam Red Cross estimates that some 150,000 Vietnamese children are disabled owing to their parents' exposure to the dioxin. Symptoms range from diabetes and heart disease to physical and learning disabilities.

  • In a transition camp, or so called "satellite camp", Ugandans displaced by two decades of war sort grain as they take one step closer to returning home. They have left the huge displacement camps where they've been sheltered for years and moved into small clusters of huts closer to their original villages, but still receive support from the government and international aid organizations. A peace process that began in 2006 has brought hope to almost two million people displaced by the war that they can soon return all the way home.

  • The peace community of San Jose de Apartado, Colombia.  In 1997, 1400 war-weary peasants declared they would no longer cooperate with any of the armed parties in the hemisphere’s longest-running war. They paid a heavy price for their witness; more than 200 members of the community have been killed. In 2013, two army generals were indicted for a 2005 massacre in the community, and on December 10, 2013, Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos Calderon, in the name of the state, publicly asked the community for forgiveness. The sign notes the community's commitment to not participate in the war, carry weapons, or help either side.

  • 13 October 2022, Ichnya, Ukraine: Olena Vedmid, a 41-year-old mother of two (son 18, daughter 14), and her five-year-old cat Murchik visit what used to be their family home in the village of Bil’machivka — a community of just over 500 people north of the town of Ichnya, Chernihiv Oblast — until an explosion razed it to the ground as Russian military forces advanced through Itchnya as they invaded Ukraine in the spring of 2022. Olena says her family were not at home when the explosion took place, but two of her four cats were killed, and as the family does not have the money or resources to rebuild the house, they are now living with relatives of her husband’s, where they will likely stay until the war is over. Olena’s family is one of many among the different villages that make up the municipality of Ichnya to lose their homes in this period, as fighting and attacks led to many houses being either severely damaged, or simply razed to the ground.
