Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman

Hello guys! :)

On this blog I am going to speak about one important person around the peace size. We made a table with some Nobel winners in teams of four. I have chosen Tawakkol, because she won a very popular prize, a Nobel Peace Price, after her hard work that she do, on 2011.

Tawakkol Abdel-Salam Karman was born in 1979, the daughter of Abdul-Salam Karman, former Minister of Legal and Parliamentary Affairs and an activist himself.

Also, was, and is, nowadays, very famous because of her strong promoter of human rights and freedom of the press since 2005 in a country dominated by an oppressive and corrupt regime. Tawakkol Karman, participated in organizing the protests in the early months of 2011 and became a leading voice during the uprisings.

Karman is a liberal Islamist who has faced harassment and death threats, and made the sacrifice to separate from her family, including her three children, in order to fight for women's rights and press freedom.As I have said before, Karman was awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Price. 

They gave a nobel prize to her, and also to other journalists like for example: Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee. They got this, for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work.

Here, I let you a video, where we can see a notice that they gave in the TV. There, appear Tawakkol when she was given the award, a very important moment..
