It seems like this gang from Zimbabwe has once again shown the true essence of girl power! The members of the group named Akashinga were once subjected to abuse and exploitation. However, instead of accepting defeat, the women came up all the stronger and armed.

The group is a part of the nonprofit International Anti-Poaching Foundation. This Foundation managed Zimbabwe’s Phundundu Wildlife Area as well. These Rangers are looking into the service issue of lack of protection of the wildlife. They believe that these animals are important to the community alive rather than dead in the hands of the poachers.
