EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The European Network of Migrant Women is a group of feminist activists who advocate for the rights of minority women in Europe. In this article, the European Network of Migrant Women collaborate with activists around the world to call for an end to racism and discrimination. As part of their call for action, the authors draw attention to the heightened injustices faced by Black women and emphasize the importance of listening to the voices of Black women and acknowledging the discrimination that they endure on a daily basis. The articles also discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected Black women in not only Europe but also the USA, Africa, and the Arab and Asian states.
