The 'March of Black Women' returned to the streets of Sao Paulo in Brazil on Monday, for the first time since the pandemic began.

Thousands of Black Latin American and Caribbean women marched through downtown Sao Paulo on Monday night to protest against discrimination, as well as to celebrate Black Latin American and Caribbean Women's Day, and Tereza de Benguela Day.

The march began at 5:30pm local time in Praça da República, downtown São Paulo.

A flag read: “Neither hunger, nor shooting, nor jail, nor Covid, stop killing us”.

BRA – March of Black Women returns to the streets to demand representation in politics

With artistic and religious interventions thousands of black, Latin American and Caribbean women made a rally through downtown Sao Paulo this Monday night to protest and celebrate Black, Latin American and Caribbean women's day.
Protests in São Paulo, Belém and Salvador mark this July 25, national day of Tereza de Benguela and the Black Latin American and Caribbean Woman. Data is a way to broaden debates on racial and gender inequalities.
This scenario of multiple inequalities is part of the denunciation that takes to the streets this Monday, July 25, in which the National Day of Tereza de Benguela and the International Day of Black Latin American and Caribbean Women are celebrated. After two years of virtual acts, due to the covid-19 pandemic, the Black Women's March of São Paulo confirmed a street act, at 17:30, in Praça da República, in downtown São Paulo. The demonstration raises the flag “neither hunger, nor shooting, nor jail, nor covid, stop killing us”.
