What is International Day of Women and Girls of African Descent?
The International Day of Women and Girls of African Descent, observed on July 25, was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2021 to recognize and address the unique forms of discrimination faced by women and girls of African descent worldwide. These women and girls are disproportionately affected by intersecting forms of racism, sexism, and poverty. The day calls on governments and civil society to take concrete steps to eliminate racial discrimination and promote gender equality. It amplifies the voices of African-descendant women in politics, culture, science, and the arts.
