African women II

African women are always performing a task. This lack of time is a main issue to their empowerment and is also why many artists paint them in their works. The daily African life is unconceivable without the woman, who not only take care of the children, but also works on the kitchen and many times travels very long distances to fetch water or wood. In this everyday scene, two women are pounding couscous, the one on the right carrying her baby on the back.
