Aisha Buhari and Melinda Gates attended the Organisation of African First Ladies Against HIV/AIDS (OAFLA) meeting on improving the sexual and reproductive health of the adolescent girl on Wednesday September 22 in New York.

Aisha wrote on Twitter yesterday after the meeting, ''Its interesting to know that @melindagates is also as passionate as I am about improving the lives of women and  girls. At the OAFLA meeting on improving the sexual and reproductive health of the adolescent girl earlier today. It is important for us to appreciate that adolescence is the age at which girls are most vulnerable and impressionable at the same time. It is at this time that parental guidance and oversight become critical and most needed in their lives. #OAFLA
