National Women’s Day is celebrated April 7th as a public holiday
in Mozambique. It is intended to celebrate a significant woman in Mozambique’s
history, Josina Machel. Machel served in the Liberation Front during the
country’s fight for independence from Portugal. She was a lead volunteer of the
Women’s Section which aimed to offer women military training, as well as
several programs concerning women and children.
On the anniversary of her death from cancer, April 7th,
Mozambique honor’s her contribution to the social rights of Mozambican woman.
Today it is celebrated to pay tribute to women’s campaign for
human rights and equality between men and women. @bloggingabroad
