Rewarding the "Non-Violent Struggle" for Women's Safety: 3 Women Nobel Prize Winners
What leadership lessons can we learn from women leaders around the world?
Three women were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work in democracy, social justice and women's rights.
The 2011 Nobel Peace Prize has been presented to three women at a ceremony in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.
This year's award was won jointly by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the president of Liberia, Leymah Gbowee, the Liberian peace activist, and Yemeni pro-democracy campaigner Tawakkol Karman.
They were recognised for their "non-violent struggle" for women's safety and for women's rights to participate in peace-building work.Source: BBC News - Nobel Peace Prize awarded in Oslo
