年諾貝爾和平獎得主揭曉Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Trio of&n
The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee and Yemeni women's rights advocate Tawakkul Karman.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee made the announcement Friday in Oslo, saying the three women will split the coveted award for "their nonviolent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights."
Committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland praised the work of the three recipients, saying that "we cannot achieve lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men."
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, 72, became Africa's first democratically elected female president in 2005. The Nobel Committee praised the Liberian leader for her efforts to secure peace, promote economic and social development and strengthen the position of women.
2011年諾貝爾和平獎被授予利比利亞總統埃倫.約翰遜.瑟利夫，利比利亞和平活動人士蕾曼.格鮑伊和也門婦女權利倡導者塔瓦庫爾.卡門。
挪威諾貝爾和平獎委員會星期五在奧斯陸做出這一宣佈時說，這三位女士分享這次和平獎是因爲她們“爲女性的安全和女性全面參與和平建設工作的權利進行非暴力的奮鬥。”
挪威諾貝爾和平獎委員會主席亞格蘭讚揚這三位女士的成就，還說，除非女性享有和男性一樣的機會，否則我們不能實現持久的和平。
埃倫•約翰遜•瑟利夫2005年成爲非洲第一位民主選舉產生的女總統。挪威諾貝爾和平獎委員會讚揚她打破種族和宗教界限，幫助結束了利比利亞的內戰。
諾委會讚揚也門婦女權利倡導者塔瓦庫爾•卡門在爲也門的婦女權利以及民主與和平的努力過程中發揮了領導作用。
挪威諾貝爾和平獎委員會表示，希望這次的頒獎有助於制止在很多國家內仍然存在的對女性的壓迫。
