0 Special Message from Daw Aung San Suu Kyi to the Feminist Majority Foundation

The Feminist Majority Foundation's Eleanor Roosevelt Awards for Global Women's Rights were held at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Tuesday, April 26, 2011.

This year's awards honored four women who have worked to make the world a better place for women and girls, often at great personal risk to themselves. The honorees were Yolette Jeanty, a leader of one of Haiti's most powerful feminist organizations; Renee Montagne, correspondent and co-host of National Public Radio's Morning Edition; Sunita Viswanath, founder of Women for Afghan Women; and Aung San Suu Kyi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and leader of the democracy movement in Burma.
