UKIP MEP James Carver Nominates Edna Adan Ismail For Sakharov Prize 2015 (for EFDD group)

Every generation, mankind produces the gift of a handful of people who are genuinely able to reach out and make a positive influence towards humanity’s wellbeing. Edna Adan Ismail is, without any shadow of a doubt, one such person said MEP James Carver on endorsement speech.

Text Speech

“Edna Adan Ismail literally rolled up her sleeves and got to work transforming her native Somaliland from the despair and ruins of a long and bloody civil war into a rare success story on the Horn of Africa. Edna’s lifelong championing of women’s rights and challenging of cultural and stereotypical traditions has led to outstanding improvements in the role of women in modern Somaliland society. She served as Somaliland’s first female Minister of Foreign Affairs. Her Edna Adan Hospital offers free
medical access, has reduced mortality amongst mothers to a quarter of the national average and trains large numbers of medical professionals.

Since the launch of her educational programme on female genital mutilation, the numbers of women affected have declined dramatically. Her role as President of the Organisation for Victims of Torture underlines her as a standard bearer for common decency and human rights.”
