"Life is about making choices: you can either spend three quid on a glossy magazine or you can spend it clearing three square metres of minefield and help give people their lives back. As simple as that."
Antipersonnel landmines are still being laid today. These - and mines from previous conflicts - continue to claim victims in every corner of the globe. The situation has improved in recent years, but a global mine crisis remains and there is still a lot to be done before we live in a mine-free world.
Both the causes and the effects of the landmine crisis need to be addressed. Efforts need to include halting mine laying, production and stockpiling, clearing mined areas and helping landmine survivors.
