Plans for Return to Accra 2027Seven principles to protect Black women and girls.
The Accra Principles on the Protection of Black Women and Girls were declared in Accra on 28 May 2025, during the Ghana Liberation Tour, and signed at the British High Commission grounds. An eighth, Environment, follows in 2027.
Protect Black Women is an empathic and empowering movement providing a network and support system for Black women and girls. We combat misogynoir and racial trauma through advocacy, counselling and community.
Misogynoir is the particular hatred and prejudice directed at Black women, where racism and sexism meet. The term was coined by Dr Moya Bailey.
About usThe Accra Principles
