"In each party you have a women's wing and a youth wing and these ancillary bodies prevent women from participating fully. They are no longer there except to dance, to entertain, to do social work; now they are encouraged to create non-governmental organizations, simply to get rid of women on the political level (Vous avez dans chaque parti une aile féminine et une aile de jeunes et ces organes annexes empêchent la participation des femmes à part entière. Elle ne sont plus là que pour danser, pour animer, pour faire du social; maintenant on les encourage à créer des organisations non-gouvernementales, tout simplement pour se débarrasser de la femme sur le plan politique)"
