أربعون عاماً في الرّقّ: نساء يبدأن حياة جديدة في موريتانيا

Whabi, a former female slave from the Haratine ethnic group, now makes a life for herself dying and sewing cloth veils. Mamoudou Lamine Kane

تم إلغاء الرقّ رسمياً في موريتانيا عام 1981 ولكن ما يزال في البلاد نحو 155,000 عبد من عبيد العصر الحديث، معظمهم من الحراطين.

ويعاني الكثيرون ممن تم تحريرهم من التمييز والعنف والظلم الاجتماعي. 

في هذا التحقيق المصور تروي خمس نساء محررات من الحراطين لشبكة الأنباء الإنسانية (إيرين) ما شهدنه أثناء سنوات العبودية وكيف أصبحت حياتهن الآن.
