BBC 100 Women 2024: Who is on the list this year?

Guerline M Jozef, Haiti Immigration rights campaigner

“Working at the intersection of politics and race in the US, Guerline M Jozef campaigns for immigrant rights.

She is the founder of the women-led Haitian Bridge Alliance, which focuses on people of African descent.

Under her guidance, the alliance filed criminal charges against Donald Trump this year, over baseless claims he made about Haitian immigrants “eating pets” in a speech in Springfield, Ohio, during his presidential campaign.

Jozef has long been an outspoken critic of the ongoing deportation of Haitians. Her organization recently urged the Biden administration to stop sending back asylum seekers who come to the US fleeing gang violence on their home island.”
