Welcome to Eritrea
Eritrean women represented 30 percent of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) during the 30 year war for independence against Ethiopian annexation. By the end of the 30 year long struggle, women comprised about one third of the 95,000 soldiers from the Eritrean People's Liberation Front, up to 30,000 women fighters began new lives in the independent state of Eritrea (Iyob 1997) , serving alongside men in every capacity. The war ended in 1991, and independence was officially achieved in 1993
