@al1na161: Thomas Sankara, the president of Burkina Faso and a Marxist revolutionary, believed that women’s emancipation was not optional charity but a structural necessity. He argued that nothing lasting could be achieved as long as half of ourselves is kept in a condition of subjugation! The triumph of the Revolution and women’s emancipation is inseparable! In his four years as a president he immunised 2.5 million children, banned fgm, outlawed forced marriage and polygamy, made access to contraception available, established equal pay principles in law and appointed women to government and military positions at a time when all these thing were unusual and unheard of ! #thomassankara🇧🇫 #socialism #feminism #fyp #leftist
