In Europe, there is widespread racial profiling & discrimination against women of african descent. Their basic human rights are being violated on a daily basis, they are used as sex slaves, they are discriminated upon in the workplace because of the color of their skin, they have limited access to education, employment, medical care & decent Jobs. They are in risk of social exclusion.
The vast majority of these women live below the average income compared to their counterparts in their respective countries in Europe. This forum was created to discuss and tackle inequalities and other issues affecting women & children of African descent.
