Today is the international day of women and girls of African descent.
As the UN puts it: “The woman and girl child of African descent embodies strength, resilience, and untapped potential, yet they remain among the most marginalized groups globally due to the intersection of racial, gender, and socio-economic discrimination.”
There remains much work to do to not only achieve gender parity but also equity among different women. So, we remain inspired by the words of Black feminist academic and activist, Dr. Brittney Cooper.
