Algerian women regrouped in camps turned displacement into revolutionary political organization

Evidence

Algerian society in the fight for liberation, in the sacrifices that it was willing to make in order to liberate itself from colonialism, renewed itself and developed new values governing sexual relations. The woman ceased to be a complement for man. She literally forged a new place for herself by her sheer strength. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 368 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

Involved in the struggle, the husband or the father learns to look upon the relations between the sexes in a new light. The militant man discovers the militant woman, and jointly they create new dimensions for Algerian society. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 252 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
