The Afro-Brazilian collective “O Colectivo de Mulheres Negras Lélia Gonzales” (“Black Women Collective Lélia Gonzales”) implemented the course “Leia, Lélia!” with support of the Feminist Peace Initiatives. The collective conducted courses in which prospective teachers read Afro-Brazilian literature. The aim of the project was to make the radical anti-racist thinking of people like the murdered activist Lélia Gonzales known to young people.
With the Feminist Peace Initiatives, we finance projects that are developed in our network so that inputs from transnational exchange formats can be translated into local activities.
In the podcast series "Fala, Clandestina!", members of the Brazilian queer-feminist band Clandestinas discuss gender-specific violence, intersectionality and racism in Brazil with other feminist activists on the basis of song lyrics.
