07 April - Women's Day (Mozambique)

 


Mozambique observe National Women's Day on April 7th to commemorate Josina Muthemba Machel's death anniversary. Josina Muthemba Machel was a prominent figure in Mozambique's struggle for independence and women's rights.

As the first wife of Mozambique's first president, Samora Machel, Josina played a significant role in advocating for the emancipation of African women and actively participated in the liberation movement against Portuguese colonial rule. She was also instrumental in promoting education and healthcare for women and children in Mozambique.

National Women's Day in Mozambique serves as a tribute to Josina Muthemba Machel's contributions to the country's independence and her efforts to advance the rights and empowerment of women. On this day, Mozambicans honor her legacy and celebrate the achievements of women while also raising awareness about gender equality and the ongoing struggle for women's rights.
