Nobel Peace Prize Awarded to Three Activist Women
More than 250 people were nominated for the prize this
year, and there had been speculation that the committee
would reward activists from the Middle East who used social
networking sites and other Internet platforms as they
challenged entrenched dictatorships.
But if the committee had singled out the Arab Spring, it
could have courted criticism that, far from rewarding efforts
toward peace, it had chosen a phenomenon whose final
outcome in Egypt and Tunisia is far from clear, and which
has provoked bloodletting and strife in Libya, Syria, Yemen
and Bahrain.
Mr. Jagland said the 2011 prize recognized those “who were
there long before the world’s media was there reporting.”
The announcement in the Norwegian capital followed
intense speculation that the prize would be awarded
variously to a figure from the Arab Spring, the European
Union or exclusively to Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf, 72, a Harvardeducated economist, who has often been cast as a pioneer
in African politics.
She was broadly perceived as a reformer and peacemaker
when she took office after several years in exile.
In Yemen, Ms. Karman has been widely known as a vocal
opponent of the pro-American regime of Mr. Saleh since
2007, leading a human rights advocacy group called
Women Journalists Without Chains. But it was only earlier
this year that her readiness to take to the streets inspired
thousands more in Yemen to do the same.
In Liberia, Ms. Gbowee, 39, was cited by the Nobel
committee for uniting Christian and Muslim women against
her country’s warlords. As head of the Women for Peace
movement, she was praised for mobilizing women “across
ethic and religious dividing lines to bring an end to the long
war” that had raged for years in Liberia until its end in 2003
and for ensuring “women’s participation in elections.”

Women all around the world are allowed to vote
Suffrage is one of the oldest issues that women’s rights
activist have been fighting for. The struggle to gain suffrage
is often referred to as the first wave of feminism. In 1906
Finland became the first country in the world to grant
women the right to vote and stand in elections. Now, 105
years later, Saudi women have also taken a step towards
equality with the decision of King Abdullah to grant the
women of Saudi Arabia the right to vote and stand for
election. The right for women to vote and stand in elections
hasn’t always been the case in the West, for example in
Switzerland women got suffrage as late as 1971.
According to the decision made by King Abdullah, Saudi
women can take part in municipal elections – the only public
elections in Saudi Arabia. Women will also be able to be
members of the Shura Council which has the power to
propose laws to the King.
The announcement has been received with mixed emotions.
According to the international organization of Parliaments,
IPU, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the decision means that
no country in the world now discriminates against women
when it comes to electing leaders. Others remain more
sceptical. For example professor and researcher Stéphane
Lacroix said in an interview for French newspaper Libération
that this decision does not fundamentally change Saudi
society.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomes the recent
announcements. He believes that these represent an
important step in the realization by women in Saudi Arabia
of their fundamental civil and political rights.
It will be interesting to see how this law will be implemented
and if it succeeds in advancing women’s rights in Saudi
Arabia.
