On the day July 31st, the African Women's Day, a symbolic date that marks the realization of the first African women's conference in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, in 1962. It is in this historical context that the Mozambican singer Liloca decided to bring to light a disturbing reflection on true female progress on the continent.
“"Every year we talk about progress. But the truth is that, on average, women still receive less than two-thirds of the economic rights of men. And when it comes to leadership positions... we barely even appear.", said Liloca in a post on her social media.

Based on this reality, the artist raises a crucial question:
“Are we really moving forward… or just taking their place?”
The reflection culminates in a online meeting scheduled for African Women's Day itself, July 31, at 7:10 p.m., where Liloca invites the public to a intimate and direct conversation. Far from being just a lecture, the proposal is to open space for dialogue about what holds women back, what strengthens them, and how they can occupy their spaces with power and awareness.
Anyone who wants to follow the session can join the artist's WhatsApp channel — the link is available in the page's bio. @AEFEMMOZ, partner in organizing the event.
More than a tribute to African women, this initiative positions itself as a call to action, encouraging self-analysis, appreciation and female empowerment based on history, truth and collective consciousness.
