Nobel Peace laureate at International Festival of Culture and Leadership in Mexico: freedom stems from will and determination
The individuals, thanks to their free will, consciousness and energy, have changed the course of history, made major transformations, developed theories and paved the way to scientific developments, said the human rights activist and Nobel Peace laureate Tawakkol Karman.
She stressed that every effort to liberate and change the world’s reality for the better, meet the aspirations of societies, realize their interests and unleash their potential will not succeed unless the will of individuals is freed from the oppression and distortions and restore the lost self.
“Changing the world begins from being aware of our life and reality, and of what we deserve as human beings, from awakening our sleeping will and guiding our driving force to change our lives and the world for the better,” she explained.
Karman pointed out that today’s world goes through unprecedented transformations, and all these imbalances, wars, and disorders are an evidence that the existing world is coming to an end while the new one is still absent.
“The stronger we believe in our rights, humanity, dignity and freedom, the closer we are to the life we want and the world we look forward to and hope for.”
Mrs. Karman emphasized that it is time for a great revolution to erupt, starting from self-liberation and unshakable faith in freedom, dignity and ability to act and change despite all the obstacles and difficulties.
She concluded by saying: “"I could say with greater confidence that our revolution will win, and martyrs never die and revolutionaries never forget their revolution. Justice would finally find its way to killers.”
