Daughter of Bangabandhu. Leader of Bangladesh.
Sheikh Hasina is the eldest daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. Forged by personal tragedy and decades of struggle, she rose to become the country's longest-serving Prime Minister, steering Bangladesh through rapid economic growth, landmark infrastructure and a steady rise on the world stage.
From the Padma Bridge to Digital Bangladesh, from humanitarian shelter for over a million Rohingya refugees to a firm place at the world's diplomatic tables, her story is inseparable from the story of modern Bangladesh.
