Monique Mujawamariya

Officer
2022

Described as a “human rights marathoner” by Amnesty International, Monique Mujawamariya has worked tirelessly since her arrival from Rwanda to bring hope to women and their children through humanitarian missions.

In her quest to reduce injustice, poverty and violence against women, she founded the Mafubo Federation in 2009, a bridge between Montréal and Africa that aims to empower women and carry out projects to improve their daily lives. The Mafubo network is now represented in 48 countries on five continents, contributing to Montréal's reputation as an international humanitarian centre.
