​About Africa’s Women's Day Awareness Celebration 2025:      

• INTRODUCTION

Across continents and centuries, women of African descent have shaped the world’s history, culture, innovation, and liberation. From the vibrant streets of Harlem to the resilient communities of the Caribbean and the thriving cities across Europe, the spirit of African greatness endures. 

This year, Africa's Women’s Day Awareness 2025 proudly presents "Rooted in Greatness: Celebrating Women of African Descent", a powerful tribute to the women whose strength, vision, and brilliance have transcended borders. 

This year also marks a significant milestone — the 5th anniversary of the Africa Women’s Day Awareness initiative. Five years of dedication to honoring African women's legacy, amplifying their voices, and connecting the diaspora to the roots of greatness. 

In the spirit of inclusivity and respect, it is important to define "African Descent." This term refers to people whose ancestors originally came from Africa. It is a broad and embracing identity that includes individuals living all around the world, in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe, and elsewhere, whose heritage or family roots trace back to African people. It does not necessarily mean the person was born on the African continent; rather, it focuses on the ancestral connection and the cultural and historical continuum that links them to Africa.

Africa's Women's Day is more than a celebration. It is a movement, a reconnection, and a reaffirmation of the potential and power woven into the lives of African-descended women. This year, we will honor, amplify, and reconnect with 31 extraordinary women whose stories continue to inspire change, hope, and progress around the world.

OVERVIEW 

Africa's Women's Day commemorates the contributions of African women in liberating the continent from colonialism and apartheid. It celebrates their ongoing role in Africa's socio-economic transformation. 

The day marks the anniversary of the Pan African Women’s Organization (PAWO), a specialized agency of the African Union focused on gender equality and women’s empowerment. Africa's Women’s Day offers a unique platform to recognize and promote the legacy of African women whose visionary and courageous actions have shaped both Africa and the world. 

Given the vital roles played by African women throughout history, it is important to raise awareness of Africa’s Women’s Day and amplify its significance in our global society.
