Nominations for women democracy defenders
A distinguished member of the Parliamentarians for Global Action is asking for nominations for the PGA's 'Defender of Democracy' Award. Senator Johnson would much appreciate nominations of women as he fully realises women are so often overlooked in the world's awards. If you have suggestions of women defenders of democracy, please e-mail them direct to Senator Johnson on his e-mail address below. Nominations are due by July 31, 2001.
For example, one of
the names suggested by Senator Johnson is the UK's Lesley Abdela for her
worldwide work in training future women leaders in Africa, the Middle East,
former Soviet Union and Central and South Asia. As many other names of
women defenders of democracy as possible would be very welcome.
Please also forward on this request to your worldwide contacts for their
nominations too.
Very best wishes.
