(240427) -- LIUZHOU, April 27, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Liang Zuying (3rd L, 2nd row) in ethnic Miao costume watches a performance in Wuying Village of Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Jan. 17, 2018. Liang Zuying, 48, hails from Wuying Village, a Miao ethnic-minority hamlet that is hidden deep in the towering mountains straddling Guangxi and Guizhou. In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. Due to their traditional views and poor family conditions, many parents did not send their daughters to school.

From March 2020, local authorities initiated a training program in Wuying Village to teach ethnic women Mandarin, in a bid to remove language barriers between them and people beyond the village, while improving their communication and vocational ski

Protest against the Castres-Toulouse motorway project - Teulat

In Teulat, in the Tarn (France), several hundred opponents of the Toulouse-Castres motorway project gathered and created a fictitious toll, and a human chain on April 17, 2021. This project, registered in 2000 and declared of public utility in 2018, would be an ecological disaster for the local population, a loss of agricultural land, but above all would see the creation of three earthwork quarries (in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Moncabrier and Villeneuve-les-Lavaur, three municipalities located along the route of the future A69). And the cost of the toll mentioned seems to them to represent a real racket, while alternatives for the development of the RN126 would be feasible. Photo by Patrick Batard / ABACAPRESS.COM

Protest against the Castres-Toulouse motorway project - Teulat

In Teulat, in the Tarn (France), several hundred opponents of the Toulouse-Castres motorway project gathered and created a fictitious toll, and a human chain on April 17, 2021. This project, registered in 2000 and declared of public utility in 2018, would be an ecological disaster for the local population, a loss of agricultural land, but above all would see the creation of three earthwork quarries (in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Moncabrier and Villeneuve-les-Lavaur, three municipalities located along the route of the future A69). And the cost of the toll mentioned seems to them to represent a real racket, while alternatives for the development of the RN126 would be feasible. Photo by Patrick Batard / ABACAPRESS.COM
