I was born in Angola but went to Portugal at an early age. My whole life is there. I am living in Angola for five years now. Decided to come here to meet my country and to know my father thinking that i would only be here for one year. Soon after my arrival i was given the chance to work as a journalist. I have been doing that since then and it´s wonderful, altough it´s not an easy task.
By being a member o f the GV team, i am hoping to show the reality of this country, with the good and the bad things…

The rates of domestic violence in Angola have increased considerably but it is a good sign: by reporting more, Angolan women get a step closer to ending the abuse perpetrated by their partners.
