World Day for African and Afrodescendant Culture (WDAAC) is celebrated annually on January 24 to recognize and honor the contributions of African and Afrodescendant communities worldwide. Established by UNESCO in 2019, this day emphasizes the revival of African cultural heritage, the celebration of artistic creativity, and solidarity among African and Afrodescendant peoples globally.
Cultural Survival's community includes people from all walks of life, with beautiful stories to tell of your own about why you decided to become an advocate for Indigenous Peoples' rights. Sharing these stories further connects our community, provides much-needed solidarity and validation to our staff and partners on the ground, and helps us inspire others to join our movement. We are excited to spotlight members and former interns of our community and highlight your contributions and perspectives through our Cultural Survival Spotlight series.

Violence in any form is a terrible experience and, even after many years, will have an impact on a woman's health and well being. It can lead to irreversible consequences, illness, disability, and mental health problems and can lead to depression, anxiety disorders, and even suicide.
November, 2024 | COP29, Baku, Azerbaijan
Statement delivered by Sheelah Bearfoot.
Madam. President and Parties.
Indigenous Peoples from the seven socio-cultural regions wish to condemn the unethical methods and even more unethical outcomes this COP has produced. There is nothing to celebrate here today. As Peoples, as Sovereign Nations, we join the several other Nations that have voiced their vehement objections to these unacceptable decisions that are continuing to destroy our planet.
