The Guardian | The real Derry girls and the peace walls that divide their city @theGuardian | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
Northern Ireland still has more than 100 'peace walls' separating Catholic and Protestant communities, 25 years after the Good Friday agreement ended the Troubles.

The barriers were meant to be taken down this year. But despite an enduring peace, many residents are not ready for their removal. As the cost of living crisis brings increased strain to communities in Derry, the Guardian spends time with Kyra and Rachel, two young peace builders doing very delicate work to bridge the divide between the two groups. Ultimately, they hope to gain their consent to reduce or remove the walls
The peace barrier initiative is supported by the International Fund for Ireland.
