For more than four decades, the Sahrawi people have lived in exile, primarily in refugee camps in the harsh conditions of the Algerian desert. Despite these challenges, Sahrawi women have emerged as the backbone of their communities, driving both day-to-day survival and the broader struggle for self-determination.

In this episode, we explore these stories of resistance with Gaby Alamin, a Sahrawi educator and member of the Australian-Western Saharan Association [awsa.org.au]. She was born and raised in the Sahrawi refugee camps in the Tindouf region in Algeria.
