Binta Sarr

Binta Sarr Ly better known as Binta Sarr (1954 – 15 September 2019) was a Senegalese women's rights activist, best known for founding the Association for the Advancement of Senegalese Women. Quotes “Grassroots populations must organize, mobilize, assume citizen control and demand democratic governance in all sectors of public space. The priority of social movements must go beyond the fight against poverty and must be focused on articulated and coherent development programs in line with human rights principles, while taking into account their needs and concerns both at the national and sub-regional levels and from a perspective of African and global integration.” “For APROFES, it is a question of studying and taking into account the interactions between the micro and the macro, the local and the global and also, the different facets of development. From slavery to colonization, neocolonialism and the commodification of human development, most of the resources of Africa and the Third World (oil, gold, minerals and other natural resources) are still under the control of financial cartels and other multinationals that dominate this globalized world.” External links Category:1954 births Category: 2019 deaths Category: Women from Senegal Category: Women engineers
