The funeral will begin at 9:00 and should end at 13 hours, at the Municipal Theater, in the center of Rio de Janeiro. The ceremony will be open to the public, at the request of the black itself.

Black Women’s Day
The date dates back to 1992, when, in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, the 1st meeting of Latin American and Caribbean black women. The purpose of the meeting was to denounce not only racism but also machismo all over the world. In the same year, the United Nations recognized the importance of the date.
The day was established in Brazil on June 2, 2014 through law no. 12,987 as National Day of Banguela and Black Women, honoring one of the most important black women in the history of the Black Movement of Brazil.
