“There is no true social revolution without the liberation of women,” explains the leader of the revolution in Burkina Faso. Workers and peasants in that West African country established a popular revolutionary government and began to combat the hunger, illiteracy, and economic backwardness imposed by imperialist domination. This work explores the integral role of women's liberation in the broader context of social and political transformation, emphasizing that genuine progress cannot be achieved without addressing gender equality. Through a critical examination of the intersection of women's rights and the struggle for national liberation, it highlights the importance of women's participation in the revolutionary process and the need for a comprehensive approach to social justice. The text serves as both a historical account and a call to action, advocating for the empowerment of women as essential to the fight against oppression and exploitation.
