@adulis24: During Eritrea's 30-year war for independence (1961-1991), women made up about 30-45% of the Eritrean People's Liberation Front fighters. Many served as soldiers, medics, mechanics, and commanders, fighting on the frontlines alongside men. Some estimates say up to 30,000 women participated in the struggle. Their role is considered one of the largest female participation rates in any liberation movement. #Eritreanwomen
