STOCKHOLM (BNO NEWS) -- Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee and Yemeni activist Tawakkul Karman were awarded the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.

The Nobel Committee divided the prize in three equal parts for their non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is Africa's first democratically elected female president.
