Nobel Peace Prize Winners Accept, on Behalf of Women's Rights

We join the international community in celebrating the Nobel Peace Prize awards to three women peacemakers who, in these trying times for peace, remind us all that non-violence is not just a choice -- it's a method that works. 

The Nobel Laureates:


President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, 73;


her compatriot Leymah Gbowee, 39, a social worker and a peace activist; and

 
Tawakkol Karman, a Yemeni journalist and a political activist who, at 32, is the youngest Peace Prize laureate and the first Arab woman to receive the award.

Congratulations!
