Black History Month

February is Black History Month in the United States, and it’s also a time to celebrate Black history, activism, and resistance across the globe. Join Global Fund for Women as we highlight Black leaders in philanthropy, development, and global health from across the world who are showing up, shifting power, and putting solidarity into practice across borders.

Black lives matter across all borders—so Black History Month must be noted, celebrated, and preserved across borders as well. Just as state violence, authoritarianism, and white supremacy do not begin or end with one country, neither do exceptional and groundbreaking Black leaders and freedom fighters.
