Hats off to you, Tawakel Karman

I am proud that this year's Nobel peace prize has been awarded to 3 women, Tawakkul Karman an anti-government activist from Libya, Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Leymah Gbowee of Liberia who campaigned against rape as a weapon in her country's civil war.
Tawakel Karman was born in 1979. Her father Abdel Salaam Karman was a politician and once was legal affairs minister and then resigned in Ali Abdullah Saleh Government. She is married to Mohammed al-Nahmi and is the mother of three children.
Karman is a writer and civil rights advocate. She is also the member of Al-Islah - main opposition party of Libya. She protested against corruption in the government. She protested also against marriage of girls below the age of 17 in Libya. She also led the protest against neglect and malnutrition of girl children in Libya. She founded "Woman journalists without chains" with 7 other journalists to promote human rights.
She was a leader in jasmine revolution and is called "Mother of revolution".

Well, we all know how difficult for a woman it is to raise a voice in a male dominated society. I remember back when we were children, one forest officer was murdered by a local goon. My mother wanted to write an article on that. We all stopped her saying that it is dangerous. (Back then (anonymous) blogs weren't there.) And to stand against the establishment in a muslim society is really a great achievement!!
