Tawakkol karman
On the second day of the summit we had the opportunity to listen to the amazing Tawakkol Karman speak. She was the second Muslim woman to win the Nobel peace prize. Her voice echoed empowerment and confidence. With her kind personality, it made it easy to strike up a conversation with her. As a teenager with a Muslim background, I felt it very easy to be drawn into what she was saying. Muslim women are often insubordinate to men. She made it clear that we are all human, with the same eyes, bones, and flesh. Her voice of equality for all was inspirational and moving. The passion when she spoke proved how strongly she felt towards the need for equality and peace for all, especially Muslim women. The thing that inspired me the most was the courage that she had to stand in front of a diverse group of students and strongly voice her opinions, because they are what she stands for.
