“Dora Akunyili, 52, in the company of two of her bodyguards in the office in Abuja, Nigeria. She is the head of NAFDAC, the national food and drug association and has survived three murder attempts commanded by the Nigerian producers of counterfeit drugs. Her unflinching dedication to the cause of liberating Nigeria of false medicines has earned her 435 medals and decorations. When she took office in 2001, counterfeits represented 50[%]of the market. Today they are down at less the 20[%] (sic) Nigeria/Abuja/04.2007”
I almost cried when I read this and again as I typed it here.
It may be silly but I’m really such a feminist and I love stories about strong, successful, beautiful, powerful women. Because I am now in the mood I may post a few more, perhaps this will be Women of the World week on create.love.](http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjjw0vmxt1qb2tsvo1_500.png "Dora Akunyili as photographed by the fantastic Paolo Woods.
