International Day of Afro-descendant Women
On July 25, 1992, Afro-descendant women from 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean met in the Dominican Republic to highlight their struggles and resistance, defining strategies to confront various forms of oppression such as racism, sexism, exclusion, violence, and poverty from a gender perspective. Since then, this date has been established as the “International Day of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean, and Diaspora Women.”
