A grey February day here in Sheffield. You will love this feelgood video from Amnesty International members in Burkina Faso, West Africa, celebrating life.
Apart from everyone wearing amnesty t-shirts and looking very happy with their little babies, the songs basically say that life is precious, mothers' lives are also precious and mothers should not die needlessly, because of poverty. The rapper also mentions that bad time that women have with domestic violence, forced marriage and genital mutilation and calls the government to take action - there is a picture of President Blaise Compaore looking very swish and holding up a banner, demanding dignity.
The clip is available online on various video sharing platforms. Here are
