How the Day was created International Black and Latin American and Caribbean Woman?
In 1992 1st Meeting of Black Latin and Caribbean Women was organized in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, where several problems and alternatives of how to solve them were discussed. After the meeting, the Network of Afro-Latin American and Afro-Caribbean Women was born, that together with the United Nations (UN), fought for recognition of the day 25 July as International Black Woman's Day, Latin American and Caribbean.
This day is not just a celebration date, but the moment when black women, indigenous and traditional communities reflect and strengthen organizations focused on the various struggles. Here in Brazil, in 2 June 2014, was instituted by Law nº 12.987, the day 25 of July as the National Day of Tereza de Benguela and the Black Woman, tribute to one of the leading women, symbol of resistance and very important leadership in the fight against slavery.
