Description: Natalia Guerrero of BBC Mundo has tackled a taboo issue in her home country, Colombia. Thousands of soldiers have lost limbs due to land mines during the country's 50 year conflict with rebels, but what's seldom talked about are the numbers who've experienced genital injury, or the 'silent wound'. Natalia talks to soldiers and doctors keen to break that silence. Image: Soldier Stivinson Mena Rivas lost a leg, a finger and had genital injuries due to a mine. Credit: Gregorio Mariño
