The Black Women’s March for Reparation and Decent Living will kick off on Tuesday (25) in Brasilia, ten years after gathering more than 100,000 women, in 2015.
The themes are advocacy for social justice, historical reparation and dignity. Participants are expected to come from all regions of Brazil and more than 40 countries.
The program begins at 9 a.m., with a formal session at the National Conference. Among the deputies present will be Benedetta da Silva (PT-RJ), Taleria Petroni (PSOL-RJ), and Celia Zachariapa (PSOL-MG), as well as leaders of the black movements.
“The march is a collective cry against the structural racism and violence that affects Black women every day,” says Petrone. “It is also an affirmation of the future: when a Black woman takes to the streets, she moves the entire community.”
At 10 a.m., participants continue walking along Esplanada dos Ministérios. In the evening, at 7:30 p.m., the President of the Federal Supreme Court, Minister Edson Faschin, will receive a delegation to address the urgent need for changes in public security policy. Throughout the day, the National Museum’s outdoor area hosts Feira das Ganhadeiras.
The march is part of Reparation and Living Well Week, which takes place from November 20 to 26 in Brasilia.
From November 22 to 24, the Global Dialogues bring together women from Africa, the Americas and Europe.
