The award, granted by the Diane Von Furstenberg Foundation, recognizes Machel's more than 50 years of uninterrupted service to women and children worldwide.<\/p>\n
The award ceremony featured a highlight when Gra\u00e7a Machel's longtime friend, presenter and philanthropist Oprah Winfrey, had the honor of presenting her with the trophy.

Upon receiving the award, Gra\u00e7a Machel gave an emotional speech in which she highlighted the ongoing need to fight for equality, justice, and dignity for all people, especially women and children. She recalled the numerous battles fought and the achievements attained, but also underlined the challenges that still persist on the path to a more just world.<\/p>\n
This recognition not only celebrates Machel's career, but also serves as an inspiration for future generations of leaders dedicated to humanitarian causes. His trajectory is a powerful example of how dedication and commitment can bring about significant change on a global scale.<\/p>\n
The Diane von Furstenberg Foundation, which has a long history of supporting inspiring women who lead movements for change, considered Gra\u00e7a Machel an exemplary choice for this year's award. Machel's work in different spheres, from politics to philanthropy, reinforces the impact that visionary leadership can have in shaping a better future for all.<\/p>\n
