Machel, Human Rights Activist and GBV Survivor </strong></p><p><strong>Josina Machel</strong> is a human rights activist from Mozambique listed in the BBC's 100 Women list for 2020. She comes from a notable family background, with her parents being Samora Machel, the first independent president of Mozambique, and Graça Machel, a renowned humanitarian and politician. Her stepfather was Nelson Mandela.</p><p>Josina's journey as an activist followed a traumatic incident of domestic violence, resulting in the loss of vision in one eye. In response to this, she founded the Kuhluka Movement, a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women who have survived gender-based violence (GBV). Furthermore, she established Protect Her Life, an insurance company that aims to support the safety and well-being of women facing unprecedented levels of GBV.</p><p>Josina has extensive expertise in advocacy, political advisory, and project management related to GBV, human development, and gender equality. She has worked in the private and public sectors within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) and internationally. Recognizing her influence and impact, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has appointed Josina as a Celebrity Spokesperson for the SADC region.
