AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS AGAINST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
“Women should not be suppressed because they are women, because they have children and because of men. Then I am a feminist. But when it comes to the African concept, for the moment, I say 'feminist plus.' We have so many other problems.”
~ Buchi Emecheta
