Zeina Saleh is a young Lebanese woman working in mine clearance and explosive ordnance disposal in southern Lebanon.
Women working in the field of demining are rare.
Zeina Saleh is amongst those few working under extremely risky conditions to realize her vision of a mine-free Lebanon.
Her work allows the safe passage of UN peacekeepers along the Blue Line, contributing to development and peace in her country.
Ms. Saleh also helps raise awareness about the impacts and dangers of landmines. She conducts training on explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices for UN personnel in Lebanon.
In 2019, along with six other young women working for the United Nations Mine Action Service, Saleh received the UN Secretary-General Award for addressing the gender imbalance in the field of explosive ordnance disposal.
