OAS Secretary General Congratulates Nobel Peace Price Laureates
October 8, 2011
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, congratulated the three women who were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and called the event “a symbol of the presence and strength that women have in all activities, occupations, professions, as well as of their fight for a better and more just world.” He said that Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia and the first woman to win free elections in Africa; Tawakkul Karman, leader of the protests in favor of democracy in Yemen; and Leymah Gbowee, a Liberian activist who distinguished herself for her campaign against violations against women in her country, “are a source of pride not only to their respective countries, but to all of us who believe that women must achieve in all areas the representation they effectively deserve.”
“The importance of the political role women play in the building of societies in our time is unquestionable,” Secretary General Insulza noted, adding that so is “the work that still remains to be done so that a girl in any part of the world may have the same opportunities as a boy, and may fully deploy her capabilities.”
The women awarded the Nobel, he held, “are exemplary in both aspects: they represent a new reality of women in politics, and they possess the courage to continue fighting faced with the many injustices that still exist on matters of equality,” Secretary General Insulza asserted.
The award, to be presented in Oslo, “recognizes that and also the fight that millions of women around the world, on a day to day basis, on smaller or larger scales, conduct with the same courage and drive,” he concluded.
