Dr. Adetokunbo (Tokunbo) Johnson is a Senior Human Rights Specialist with over a decade of sustained engagement in the fields of women's rights, disability, and intersectionality under international and African regional human rights law. Based in Greater London, she is the founder of Axiom Rights — a consultancy and thought leadership platform dedicated to advancing women's human rights and closing systemic gaps.

Her doctoral research at the University of Pretoria examined the lived realities of disabled women in Nigeria, interrogating the dominant legal and cultural narratives that render their experiences invisible. This work has anchored an internationally recognised body of scholarship across Palgrave Macmillan, Springer, Routledge, and major peer-reviewed journals.

As Project Officer and Coordinator at the Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, Dr. Johnson led state reporting workshops across 32 African states focused on the Maputo Protocol. Her practitioner experience spans UNICEF and UNFPA-commissioned disability research, a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of the Free State, and module leadership in African Politics at Newcastle University.

She serves as a Board Member of ADD International, is a Fellow of Advance HE UK, and was awarded the prestigious Margaret McNamara Education Grant in 2018.

In 2025, Dr. Johnson began the Graduate Diploma in Law, further anchoring her work at the intersection of legal practice and human rights advocacy.
