Happy International Day of the Afro-Latin American

Happy International Day of the Afro-Latin American and Afro Caribbean Woman. On July 25, women of African descent across Latin America and the Caribbean, from Argentina to Puerto Rico, gather to celebrate International Afro-Latina, Afro-Caribbean, and African Diaspora Women’s Day. The holiday was created on July 25, 1992, when Black women from 32 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean gathered in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic for the First Meeting of Afro-Latin American and Afro-Caribbean Women. The meeting was called to celebrate Black culture and identity, to honor the legacy and contributions of Black women and to combat racism and sexism. La Red de Mujeres Afro-Latinoamericanas, Afro-Caribena, y de la Diaspora (Network of Afro-Latin American and Afro-Caribbean Women of the Diaspora) was also created at this meeting. This organization continues the work that began at the First Meeting. #afrolatina #mulhernegra #afrocaribbean
