Madagascar: a celebration and few demands for women's rights day in Tamatave. March 8, declared a public holiday for all.
An event intended to be grandiose, popular and entirely dedicated to celebrating Malagasy women. But some activists reject the festive nature of this day altogether. In the evening, far from the official festivities, many women and young girls continued to celebrate March 8 as they saw fit by taking over the city's party venues en masse. The festival is precisely an opportunity to celebrate the courage of those who overcome daily difficulties.
