THE PASSING AWAY OF NOBEL LAUREATE, PROF. WANGARI MAATHAI
"The Legacy of Wangari Maathai to African Women." | |
|
"Africa has lost today one of its greatest daughters. Wangari was the champion of the
environmental cause, to which she brought the attention of the Continent when nobody was
talking about this great challenge. She worked tirelessly for the rural women, demanding
African leaders to address climate change. She was a Human Rights defender who risked
her life for ordinary people.
As African women, we have been proud of her recognition with the Nobel Peace Prize. We
have also supported her leadership as President of the Economic, Social and Cultural
Council of the African Union.
We are sure that the young women and men she mentored are ready to continue her fight for
climate justice. However, her leadership, guidance and commitment will be missed. She was
a visionary and has been an inspiration for all of us, and will continue to be for generations to
come." |
