Landmine Campaigns
Many people have died because of landmines. "Up to 2,000 people are maimed or killed by them every month. According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), more people have been killed by mines than by either chemical or nuclear weapons." Princess Diana had brought awareness to this by visiting landmine victims. Red Cross had been working to raise awareness to landmine campaigns for a long time and Princess Diana had contributed to raise public awareness extremely. Even the president had mentioned her help in landmine campaigns during a speech after her death. ''In his speech he stated this 'We admired her work for children, for people with AIDS, for the cause of ending the scourge of landmines in the world, and for her love for her children, William and Harry.''(Clinton, William J.) Princess Diana had made two specific trips to help raise awareness about landmine campaigns. One to a minefield in Angola and the other three weeks before her death to landmine victims in Bosnia.
