1998
In the Ivory Coast, a growing number of women are raising their head. For the first time in their life, they are standing tall and proud. They are choreographers, skopkeepers, businesswomen and activists. They are rewriting the story of their city, the story of their country. They are dignified women and theirs is the life of a modern-day Abidjan.
