International Day of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women
July 25th was established as the International Day of Afro-descendant Women During the First Meeting of Afro-Latin, Afro-Caribbean and Diaspora Women, held on this day in 1992 in Santo Domingo, in recognition of the work done by women of African descent in the fight against racial discrimination, sexism, poverty and marginalization.
The members of the CLACSO Working Group on Afro-descendants and Counter-hegemonic Proposals, along with other groups, stated in a 2020 declaration that “International Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean, and Diaspora Women's Day is a day of struggle and further denunciation of the conditions they face. We fight for the recognition of their important presence, leadership, and exemplary conduct in the various processes of collective resistance. and they called “We must remain vigilant and condemn the acts of violence that reflect the perspective of eliminating Afro-descendant families and leaders in our region.”
