On this International Women's Day, Kuhn expressed her pride in joining the courageous demining women of Africa in walking the mine fields of Angola. She emphasized the importance of collective efforts in bringing about world peace, emphasizing that the journey begins with the removal of a single landmine and the planting of a seed of life.
