IN SHORT

Since a very young age, Christiane Bitty-Kouyaté knew beyond a doubt that women should be equal to men. She studied law and became a notary officer, but the defence of women’s rights has been her number one cause, joining forces with activists fighting to eradicate gender inequality. The type of woman destined to succeed in breaking the glass ceiling, Christiane is passionate about African art and helps leprosy patients through her charity work.
