ELLEN JOHNOSON SIRLEAF
Hi, today I'm going to write about a great and big woman and I am going to explain her labour that is spectacular.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf won a Nobel Prize of the Peace in 2011. She was born 29 October 1938, was born in Monrovia, Liberia. She married in 1955 and, in 1961, travelled with her husband to the US, where she studied economics at Harvard University and other institutions. After her return to Liberia, she worked for the government, including as the Minister of Finance, prior to the military coup of 1980. After having worked within the banking industry and at the United Nations, she was defeated in the Liberian presidential election of 1997. She was later elected as president in 2005 and then re-elected in 2011. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has four children. Women often suffer most when wars and conflicts erupt. At the same time, their opportunity to influence events during conflicts is often severely limited. Women's rights and full participation in democratic processes are important to ensure lasting peace. In Liberia, bloody civil wars ravaged the country between 1989 and 2003. In 2005, two years after the guns fell silent, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected as the nation's president. As the first female head of state ever to be democratically elected in Africa, she has worked to promote peace, reconciliation and social and economic development.
She have a lot of famous sentence like: “If your dreams don't scare you they are not big enough” and “the size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them”.In February 2012, Bong County Senator Jewel Taylor proposed a bill that would carry a term of ten years in prison for homosexual activity, while a similar bill was introduced in the House of Representatives. On 19 March, Sirleaf addressed the issue, saying that she would not repeal the current law but would also not sign into law either of the two proposed bills. Sirleaf added, "We like ourselves just the way we are We've got certain traditional values in our society that we would like to preserve."
I chose this important and big women because I think that her labor was very important for the social evolution in one hand of the women´s right and the right of the LGBT group, that nowadays are also excluded unfortunately.Also, because I am interesting in the right of women and LGBT group because I think that nowadays still we have to do a lot of work to get the equality for all the humans in word and I think that is way of starting very interest and very well. Is very especial to work to achieve this equality between woman and man or the LGBT group because we are all same and we don't have to give less right to someone who is woman or someone of the LGTB group.
