Sethrida Touk-Geagea, born on May 15, 1967, in Kumasi, Ghana, is a Lebanese politician. She comes from a well-known Maronite family involved in business in West Africa and is the niece of Gibran Touk, a longtime member of the Lebanese National Assembly for the Bsharri district.
She became politically active while studying political science at the Lebanese American University, where she met Samir Geagea, leader of the Lebanese Forces (FL), whom she later married. She was one of the few politicians to publicly criticize the Syrian occupation of Lebanon and led the FL as its chairwoman during Samir Geagea's imprisonment. In the 2005 elections, she won the Maronite seat in the Bsharri district and has served as a member of parliament since then.
