Abstract

This article aims to analyze black women’s non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Brasil. First, I identify which are the objects of the collective struggle of black women in Brasil, and how they relate to the process of emancipation of black women from the black and feminist movements, culminating in the subsequent formation of the black feminism (and of the black women movement). The second part discusses the political and organizational aspects, and the political action of this group of NGOs in the Brasilian society. In particular, it look at what I called as gendered racial perspective of black women’s NGOs; this perspective reflects a singular condition of oppression – i.e., the intersection of race, gender (and class, sexuality) – that this group have experienced. It concludes addressing the African diasporic dimension of these Afro-Brazilian women’s gendered racial perspective.
