I don't even remember how I learned about the Miss Landmine website and pageant. The Angolan government is cooperating, and the pageant will be held in Luanda, Angola on 4/4/2008. The site isn't particularly great, but includes info about the candidates, embraces a message of empowerment (replacing "victims" with "survivors") and lists nations that still use/promote landmines.

And the photos of the women, beautifully bedecked and standing proud despite landmine injuries, are amazing and heartrending.
