BAKU, Azerbaijan, November 21. Martinique tries to prevent discrimination, Claudette Duhamel from the Movement of Democrats and Ecologists for a Sovereign Martinique said at the "Decolonization: Women Empowerment and Development" event, Trend reports.
She noted that women are subject to discrimination.
“Women bore the brunt of the consequences of colonialism and slavery. The colonialists established a scenario in which African-American women were regarded as the lowest caste. Women were treated as if they were objects. African-Americans were denied the right to live freely,” added Duhamel.
The “Decolonization: Women Empowerment and Development” event is being held in Baku. It's organized by the Baku Initiative Group of the Non-Aligned Movement.
