Verónica Michelle Bachelet Jeria [beˈɾonika miˈtʃel βaʃeˈlet ˈxeɾja] (born 29 September 1951 in Santiago de Chile) is a Chilean surgeon[1] and politician (PS). From 2006 to 2010 and from 2014 to 2018 she was President of Chile, making her the first woman to hold this office. From 1 September 2018 to 31 August 2022 she was United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. In the meantime she was Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations as Executive Director of the UN Women organization.

Michelle Bachelet was named after the French actress Michèle Morgan.[2] She is the daughter of Chilean Air Force General Alberto Bachelet, who remained loyal to President Salvador Allende during the 1973 coup in Chile and was captured and tortured by members of Augusto Pinochet’s regime. The following year, he suffered a fatal heart attack in prison. Michelle and her mother fled to East Germany via Australia. In 2013, shortly before the presidential election, Bachelet recounted her own experiences in the Villa Grimaldi torture prison in January 1975 before her escape: “My head was in a hood and I was insulted, threatened and sometimes beaten. But I was spared the parrilla, a torture device consisting of a bed frame for electric shocks, literally called a grill in Spanish.”[3] She learned German at the Herder Institute of the University of Leipzig.[4] She studied medicine at the Humboldt University of Berlin. On October 19, 2006, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Charité.[5] This was in recognition of her services to healthcare and the care of underprivileged people, which she achieved as a pediatrician and politician in Chile.

In 2019, she was awarded honorary citizenship of the city of Montreal.
