First Lady Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, the First Lady of Sierra Leone and President of the Organization of African First Ladies for Development (OAFLAD), has been featured in the 27th edition of Women in Leadership Magazine, a globally respected platform known for profiling influential female leaders alongside other prestigious international publications.
The feature recognizes Dr. Bio’s remarkable impact as First Lady and her role as a global advocate for women’s empowerment, girls’ education, and the protection of children’s rights.
The magazine highlights her leadership through initiatives such as the “Hands Off Our Girls” campaign, her work as a UNAIDS Champion, and her influence on national and international policy, which collectively underscore why she stands among the world’s most inspiring women leaders.
According to the publication, Dr. Bio’s career began in the film industry, where she won several accolades, including Best Actress for her role in the film Mirror Boy. She has since become an accomplished advocate, promoting gender equality from grassroots levels to the United Nations.
Her flagship campaign, Hands Off Our Girls, has been instrumental in enacting progressive legislation that advances girls’ education, improves healthcare, and accelerates access to justice for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, helping to combat pervasive rape in Sierra Leone.
The 27th edition of Women in Leadership Magazine affirms Dr. Bio’s growing global stature as a transformative leader whose work continues to drive social change across Africa and beyond.
