Description
For the past four decades Malian blacksmith Adam Dina, also known as Nah, has been fighting the taboos associated with a woman working in this male-dominated profession. The 60-year-old makes a range of products at her workshop in Bamako, from kitchen utensils to vehicle parts. "This job is my whole life. Thanks to it, I've escaped many vices, including begging and prostitution. I earn a decent living. I provide dignity for my children," she says.
