Third World Women's Alliance

The Third World Women’s Alliance was a social movement founded in 1970 that united women of color, particularly those from marginalized communities, to address issues like gender inequality, racism, and economic injustice. It aimed to empower women of non-Western backgrounds and challenge interconnected systems of oppression. The organization emphasized solidarity among oppressed groups and promoted cultural pride, political activism, and economic self-determination. By advocating for intersectional approaches, the Alliance played a key role in shaping discussions on race, gender, and class within the broader civil rights and feminist movements.
