Timeline
Fatimata M'Baye (Arabic: فاطيماتا مباي; born 1957) is a Mauritanian lawyer.
She has campaigned for human rights in her country.
M'Baye was born in 1957 in Mauritania.
At age 12 she was forcibly married to a 45-year-old man, but fought her family for the chance to attend school.
"Fatimata M'Baye has long been a voice of reason and of tolerance in a country plagued by ethnic tensions. As Mauritania's first woman attorney, Fatimata has taken on some very tough cases. She's defended the rights of activists and advocated for the prosecution of human traffickers. She helped draft a law criminalizing slavery. And she represents the 'committee of widows', a group seeking justice for the murder of their husbands during a period of upheaval in the late 1980s. Asked about her role, she says, 'I could be born white, yellow, Mongolian, or Kurdish, and I would have recognized myself in each of these. For me the value of the human being is above everything.'"
M'Baye has three children.
From 1981 to 1985 she studied law and economics at the University of Nouakchott, becoming the first female lawyer in her home country.

M'Baye is Chair of the Committee for Women's Rights and founder and leader of the Social Commission of the AMDH.
In 1998, she was sentenced to another prison term of thirteen months for belonging to an unapproved union, yet under the pressure of an international campaign she was pardoned by the country's President.
Mbaye began to receive international attention after her work and life was included in "Mauritania: A Question of Rape," a BBC documentary on the convictions of female rape survivors with the crime of zina.
