It was established in 1992 during the First Meeting of Afro-Latin American and Afro-Caribbean Women held in the Dominican Republic, and pays tribute to historical figures such as Salom\u00e9 Ure\u00f1a and the maroon women of the region, who led resistance struggles against slavery.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"507550\" src=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-25-at-11.21.24-AM-1-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-507550\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"507552\" src=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-25-at-11.21.24-AM-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-507552\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"507551\" src=\"https:\/\/deultimominuto.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-07-25-at-11.21.23-AM-1-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-507551\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barahona.\u2013 In commemoration of the International Day of Afro-descendant Women, the Tertulia Feminista Sur (TFS) officially launched the project \u201cFeminism, Action and Mobilization for an Inclusive Economy\u201d (FAME), an ambitious initiative that seeks to transform the living conditions of more than 1,500 Afro-descendant women and girls in seven communities in the Enriquillo Region.
