DISTRICT 10 - PICTURES AND PRINTS AFRICAN

" Africa was exactly as I imagined with people everywhere, it will be full, it's alive! We do not know where to head! People are very warm and help each other. There, everyone is talking about, they live in the street together! It's beautiful to see! "Laetitia

" Regarding Tambacounda, the first thing that struck me is the sheer number of taxis! I confess I did not really expect it, I did not expect to carriages either. " Laetitia

" discharge by which we passed to go at school was also impressive, it's still very polluted ... "Laetitia

" If I felt embarrassed when they came to tell us toubab, I loved to say hello to everyone. " Lea

"To Market, I observed, relations between people and it was a giant" Lea

"I never thought there would be much odor" Valentin

"What me has most shocked, it is Talibés. Parents who can not meet the needs of their children boys, entrust to the marabout who must take care of them. Except that these poor kids are out all day with a tin to say "give me 100 francs." Lea

"We organized a joint meeting, but during it, when women wanted to respond, they were cut by men who met in their place, saying they were satisfied with their status and their conditions. So we decided to organize a meeting composed exclusively of women, there were about thirty or so. "Laetitia

" Ah, this meeting, we'll talk a lot, before and after, especially the Africans! Boubacar For every good excuse to try to become embedded: information communicate, benches provide ... It will require good humor that he wants to leave the deck to simulate hunting with a broom.

This meeting with African women, girls have requested it, just women, to talk about women. They have questions about polygamy, excision, freedom of choice, the role that women play in the Senegalese daily, how they design their life, education and the opportunity to exercise a trade ... Celia, Laetitia and Leah want to understand what seems to them unintelligible to themselves.

On the terrace at the end of the afternoon, there are many women of all ages. This is surely the first time they propose a meeting like this, without people ... Very quickly, the women begin to talk, especially older: compliance requires, young dare not necessarily give Notice:

"- Polygamy, yes, it has good sides, it is not alone, was a co-wife who can become an ally, we share the housework ... uh, yeah, it has its good sides ... but it's not often like that. And me, I am the market, kitchen, laundry (by hand), children also to care, I also sell some to earn a few ...
CFA - and your husband, he helps you?
- no, he is unemployed. "

Another woman said:" We always work: the house, children, and then if you can can find a little outside work. It is not easy. The night we feel like nothing, we are tired. For you, it's easier and you have more facilities. We are worried for our children, there is nothing for younger people, they often hang out in the street. We would have needed a place for them as a Case for toddlers and a room for us to learn, to work. "

We must listen, and hear behind the words. Tradition and social pressure are critical, even if you start to guess that there are basically a real need for recognition and a different perspective on women's condition began to emerge, perhaps timidly, but unlike what happened there a decade, they talk, they say their concerns, their desires to be considered women, not only as mothers or wives dependent; dependent but very effective and essential to society Africa. They are trapped by the weight of tradition, by the urgency of daily difficulties. Lucid, they begin to claim that their mothers never dared to say and report. But Africa is not Europe so they ask us "can not do like you, we will not show in the street is not possible, but we would like to know what you would do to our place, how can we change this? "

Girls are attentive, they feel good that we should not rush things and respectful of women and their culture, they ask me:" You think you can ask them like this? ". Sylviane
