Caravans from all regions of Brazil are arriving in Bras\u00edlia on Tuesday (25) for the <\/span>2nd Black Women\u2019s March, <\/b>which is expected to fill the Esplanade of the Ministries with around <\/span>300,000 participants. <\/b>The mobilization, organized by the National March Committee, is calling for reparation policies and the right to well-being, gathering Black women from diverse territories, age groups, and personal histories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conectas is following the activities in Bras\u00edlia throughout the <\/span>Week for Reparation and Well-Being, <\/b>joining the collective effort to <\/span>bolster Black women\u2019s movements, amplify their voices, and support urgent agendas on racial justice<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

A decade after the historic march<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ten years after the first march\u2014held in 2015, when over 100,000 Black women marched through the federal capital\u2014the 2025 event is seeking to put themes such as <\/span>social mobility, <\/b>structural inequality, safety, income, and violence that disproportionately affects Black women back at the center of public debate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holding the march in November also aligns it with <\/span>Black Awareness Month, <\/b>a period marked by demonstrations, debates, and activities nationwide.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is happening on Tuesday (25)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The program begins at 9 a.m., when participants will gather at the <\/span>Museu da Rep\u00fablica<\/b>. Cultural groups, capoeira circles, and a procession of <\/span>berimbaus <\/span><\/i>will mark the launch of the day\u2019s activities. At the same time, the National Congress will be holding a ceremony to honor the march.<\/span><\/p>\n

At around <\/span>11 a.m., <\/b>the caravans will begin their route along the Esplanade. A chant created especially for the event invites the women to move forward together: <\/span>\u201cKeep marching sister, toward infinity. Stand your ground and shout out loud!\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

From <\/span>4 p.m.<\/b> on, Black female artists from different regions will present a large-scale musical performance dedicated to art and resistance. Taking the stage will be <\/span>Larissa Luz, Luanna Hansen, Ebony, Pretha\u00eds, C\u00e9lia Sampaio and N\u00fabia<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

International involvement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s march is also strengthening ties with Black women from other countries. Leaders from <\/span>Ecuador<\/b> and from African diaspora communities are also taking part in the mobilization to bolster shared agendas and bring visibility to the struggles of Afro-Latina, Afro-Caribbean, and African women.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Ines Morales Lastra, from the Afro-Ecuadorian Northern Emeralds Confederation (<\/span>Confedera\u00e7\u00e3o Comarca Afro-equatoriana do Norte de Esmeraldas<\/span><\/i>), explains that the group\u2019s presence reaffirms the continuity of ancestral voices: \u201cWe march so that our demands will be heard, because we also speak for our grandmothers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The memory of L\u00e9lia Gonzalez lives on<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The power of the march is also linked to the legacy of <\/span>L\u00e9lia Gonzalez<\/b>, a central figure in Black feminism in Brazil and the Americas. Her granddaughter, <\/span>Melina de Lima<\/b>, is taking part in the mobilization after receiving the title of Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Bras\u00edlia on behalf of the anthropologist. Concepts developed by L\u00e9lia, such as <\/span>amefricanidade<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>pretugu\u00eas<\/span><\/i>, continue to underpin debates on race, gender, and identity in Brazil.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
