There are still thousands of African students stuck in

Ukraine

unable to flee the fighting.

But in Sumy, a Ukrainian city on the Russian border, the 1,700 foreign students, including many Africans, ended up evacuating the city.

Details in this journal. 

The Journal de l'Afrique devotes a large page to International Women's Rights Day.

We will go to

Kenya

, where in the slums, women are overrepresented.

The reasons are many: irregular income, the need to spend more time at home to take care of children... and therefore a lack of means to pay for decent housing.

Report by our correspondents Bastien Renouil and Elodie Cousin. 

In

Niger

, women are also fighting against jihadism with the National Network of Women for Peace, an association that works in the villages to raise awareness among the inhabitants.

Report by our correspondent Harold Girard, in the village of Liboré. 

Finally we will go to

South Africa

 to meet the first black freediving instructor in the country.

Zandile Ndhlovu, nicknamed the "black siren" wants to open the ocean to all communities.

Because in South Africa this has not always been the case.
