Madagascan women celebrate Independence

Representing Madagascar

Last dance.
On Sunday Madagascan domestic workers in Lebanon celebrated Independence Day, which was actually last month but due to the political situation in the country organizers saw no reason to celebrate. However, since this would be the only opportunity for many women to leave the house they decided to continue.
Several Madagascan men also attended the festivities to show support and have a good time.
