"HURUNGWE, Zimbabwe, April 25 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Sharai Tunhira
frowns with focus as she runs through drills with her all-female patrol team -
each woman armed and ready for the many men they catch poaching wildlife in
their corner of northern Zimbabwe.
Despite the risks of the job, she says joining the military-style unit has
given her the chance to protect the wildlife she loves while also earning a
decent livelihood in a rural area where many poor women struggle to make ends
meet.
"Here I am occupied and empowered. I do not depend on a man to survive," said
Tunhira, 25, who joined the team in 2021 after years eking out a living as a
cleaner and vegetable seller."
