THE WORLD AWAITS DR. FATIMA BIO'S HISTORIC UN RESOLUTION TO END CHILD MARRIAGE
As the world turns its gaze to the United Nations General Assembly, all eyes are on Her Excellency Dr. Fatima Maada Bio, First Lady of Sierra Leone.On September 4, 2026, Dr. Bio is poised to make history by presenting a draft resolution that could establish an International Day for the Elimination of Child, Early and Forced Marriage. The proposal marks a pivotal moment in the global fight against a practice that robs millions of their childhood, education, and future. For Dr. Bio, this mission is deeply personal. It is a journey that began not in the halls of power, but in the life of a young girl who narrowly escaped the fate she now seeks to end for others. "Her journey from almost being married at age 10 to standing before the General Assembly is a testament to her unwavering dedication," noted a spokesperson from the Office of the First Lady. "She carries the voices of the voiceless into this historic session."
