The first National Meeting of Black Women (Portuguese: I Encontro Nacional de Mulheres Negras; ENMN) took place in Brazil from December 2 to December 4, 1988, in Valença, Rio de Janeiro.
It took place in the city of Nova Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro.

According to Sandra Bello, issues of class and race were prominently addressed during the meeting.
Some feminists were hesitant to accept the active participation of black women, particularly in discussions related to favelas.
