| About Women's Day |
| Each year, on April 7th Mozambicans celebrate the national Woman's Day and honour the gallant fighter Josina Machel, who died on 7 April 1970. It is a day to celebrate women's achievements in Mozambique and reflect on their fight for equal rights. On the international day of the world, many Mozambican women still have tears on their chins from three recent disasters. These disasters have affected the whole country. On the same day is coinciding with the first female Prime Minister in Africa in 1994. This is the day that politician Mahatma Gandhi suspended his campaign of civil disobedience in India in 1934. Under the law, women now have the right to seek divorce in the case of domestic violence or infidelity. It is the minimum age of marriage for girls to 18, to encourage females to gain secondary education before marriage. |
