Hafsat Abiola

Hafsat Abiola (born 1974 in Lagos) is a Nigerian human rights, civil rights and democracy activist, founder of the Kudirat Initiative for Democracy (KIND), which seeks to strengthen civil society and promote democracy in Nigeria.
She is the eighth child of Nigeria's uninaugurated (June 12, 1993) President-elect, the late Chief Moshood Abiola, who was put in prison by the dictator Gen. Sani Abacha for treason after declaring himself president. President-elect Abiola later died under detention in 1998. Hafsat's mother, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola (killed in 1996), was murdered during a demonstration for the release of her husband in 1996.
Abiola graduated from Phillips Academy, Andover, in 1992 and Harvard College in 1996. She received an honorary doctorate from Haverford College.
Abiola is the founder of China-Africa Bridge and China Africa Forum, which promotes mutually beneficial cross-cultural collaboration between China and Africa, with a specific eye on women's contributions to the economy.〔Abiola, Hafsat. ("Africa, China and Women" ) for Economica: Women and the Global Economy. October 2009. Retrieved March 22, 2010.〕
In 2000, Abiola was honored as a Global Leader of Tomorrow at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. In 2003, she was elected as a Fellow of the Ashoka: Innovators for the Public in recognition of her international status as a social entrepreneur. In 2006 she was nominated to be a founding councilor at the World Future Council.
In 2006 she raised funds by organizing performances of ''The Vagina Monologues'' in Nigeria.〔(''Allure : Hasfat's new war'', Vanguard, Feb 19, 2006 )〕〔(''KIND brings back Vagina Monologues to Nigeria'', Business Day, Feb 22, 2007 )〕
Since May 2008 she is also a Councilor at the World Future Council among 49 other well known personalities.
In 2008, the Europe-based ''A Different View'' chose Abiola to be one of the 15 Champions of World Democracy. Other champions include Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Corazon Aquino, and Sima Samar.〔''A Different View'', Issue 19, January 2008.〕 She is an advisory council member at the Fetzer Institute as well as the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
