Structural changes and the role of women, with Special regard to effects of urbanization and migration

Abstract

During the last International Seminar for Women in Berlin, In 1967, two statements were made by the delegates from Upper Volta and Senegal which we should keep in mind during our present discussions: "we have to preserve the African soul,” and "We do want modern women, but first of all they, have to be Africans." These statements convey the basic truth that every country has its own historical, cultural, and economic development.
