Glamour, in celebration of the twentieth century, will celebrate the Women of the Year Award. Five powerful heads of state women on earth will gain recognition of their merits. The honorees are: Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor of Croatia, Prime Minister Iveta Radicová of Slovakia, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia, President Dalia Grybauskaite of Lithuania, and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar of Trinidad and Tobago.
Power to the ladies all over the world, I must say equality of human rights.
- Jadranka Kosor, Prime Minister of Croatia, is the first woman to become prime minister of her country, and she has worked tirelessly to promote gender equality and to promote women to leadership positions. With the really awesome position and credibility, I see a future president.
- Iveta Radicová, Prime Minister of Slovakia, is also the first woman to become prime minister of her country. She has made women's rights and human rights a priority. That is a good indicator of being the people voice and represent for them.
- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia, was a political prisoner who became the first female elected president of Africa in 2005. She has said she knows her example will inspire girls all over Africa. She has stressed education, the inclusion of women in government, and providing women with vocational skills and improving their employment opportunities, they need to be looked at as this is what is causing the fall of their country. The right mind works for her, a powerful mind thinker and standing up in prison shows that she is strong inside.
- Dalia Grybauskaite, President of Lithuania, won in a landslide to become Lithuania's first female president. She is a champion of women. Women are active participants in political, business and public life, and the gap between men's and women's employment has been narrowing.
Move over, She I going to define who is taking office.
- Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, is determined to tackle her country's crime rate, boost pensions and eradicate poverty-all issues that greatly affect women. She is known for her inclusive leadership style and her desire to get more women into office.
