Contents Summary

On this tape, RADDHO documents press conferences that took place in Senegal. In the first press conference, numerous speakers focus on the issue of equality and on the treatment of women. The video shows pictures of women who have been so badly beaten that their backs are permanently scarred. Accompanying these pictures are signs and banners demanding equality between the sexes. The speakers all speak Wolof. At the second press conference, almost a year later, people debate in French about how best to help Senegal.
