First Lady Fatima Bio Arrives In London For End Violence Against Women Campaign

The First Lady of Sierra Leone, Fatima Bio has today, 28 November 2022 arrived in London for the ‘UNITE to End Violence against Women’ campaign.

Fatima Bio, who is globally recognised for her work on protection of Women and Girls, has been invited to join the British Queen Consort at Buckingham Palace in marking the ‘UNITE to End Violence against Women’ campaign.

The ‘UNITE to End Violence against Women’ campaign is an initiative of the UN-supported “16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence”.

The 16-Days activism is an annual campaign that begins on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs through to the International Human Rights Day on 10 December.

As part of such activism, Her Majesty Queen Consort Camilla will host First Lady, Fatima Bio and other distinguished global personalities at Buckingham Palace to discuss these issues.

The First Lady is expected back in Sierra Leone this week at the end of her laudable engagements here in London. As always, the Office of the First Lady will keep the public informed of her activities whilst she is here in London.
