Hadiza Bazoum

Hadiza Ben Mabrouk Bazoum (born 1968) is a Nigerien lawyer and women's rights advocate. She served as the First Lady of Niger from April 2021 until July 2023 during the presidency of her husband, Mohamed Bazoum.

Since the July 2023 Nigerien coup d'état, which overthrew President Bazoum's democratically elected government, former First Lady Hadiza Bazoum and her husband have been held under house arrest in the Presidential Palace in Niamey by the military junta. Nigerien and international human rights organizations have called for the couple's release, along with the release of other political prisoners. In February 2025, a United Nations working group called for the immediate release of Hadiza and Mohamed Bazoum, decrying their detention as "arbitrary" and in violation of international law.
