“We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society” -Nobel Committee President Thorbjoern Jagland
Reminds me of this quote:
“Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this planet as men and women.” -Joss Whedon
Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, and Tawakkul Karman. Also, thank you to the Nobel committee for recognizing the power of the prize to protect winners- Yemen can’t make Karman disappear now.
