Businesswomen From Ivory Coast

"My sisters from the Bété, Bao Ulé, and Dioula people and everywhere, fear not! It’s not because they attack us and shoot water with sand that we should feel discouraged, because when someone goes to the rescue of their spouse, their brother, their son, they will not back down in face of so little,"

"Don't be afraid."

"That's why they imprison our husbands, our brothers, and our sons; that's why they impose themselves on us in such a brutal manner."
