A wish for Abalo in Uganda

Three Women Win Nobel Peace Prize

We can't begin to imagine just how hard three women have had to work in their respective African/Middle Eastern countries to achieve such an honor as the Nobel Peace Prize 2011. I personally have chills about what this could mean in the evolution of women's rights globally. It is especially timely with October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/08/world/nobel-peace-prize-johnson-sirleaf-gbowee-karman.html?_r=1&hp
