A global campaign for the nomination of Dr. Nawal Saadawi for the Nobel Prize
To all the women of the Arab States and the Middle East, and to all the women in the Arab and Islamic world: To all those men who are struggling alongside women for their freedom, rights, and equality: To all civil society organizations and women s organizations, human rights, and youth organizations:
To all the democratic political parties that target the importance of securing and enabling full rights for women: To the young and young-looking of the Renaissance Women in the Middle East and the Arab States:
Warm greetings,
You are aware of the importance of the struggles of women in Arab countries, the Middle East, and in Islamic dominated areas in particular. You believe that women deserve their freedom and rights, regardless of nationality, religion, sect, or intellectual and political perspective. You know that this commitment means that a struggle for full rights and obligations in the state also demands work against violence, against oppression and against coercion and slavery. The Centre for Civilized Dialogue promotes the following proposal, in hopes that women s equality and civilized dialogue become an increasing reality in Arab society. We call on all men and women in Arab-populated countries support:
The nomination of Nawal Saadawi, PhD. for the 2012 Nobel Prize for Peace. This brave woman is an inspiration to women and men struggling for freedom and peace with justice, especially with regards to the rights of women in Arab and Islamic-faith dominated countries. Nawal el-Saadawi is a doctor, novelist, and activist. She is a democratic literary phenomenon in the Middle East, and known by Arabs all over the world. She is a distinct and prominent campaigner for women s rights, human rights, and against political repression. These themes contribute significantly to her writing. She has greatly aided the dissemination of social and political awareness and enlightenment over a period of more than five decades. Dr. Nawal Saadawi is the most prominent female role model and campaigner for women s rights and equality alive today. We are convinced that a multi-lingual facebook campaign will gather tremendous support for this woman of courage—from Mrs. Saadawi s home country of Egypt as well as internationally. We expect the support and response from all conscientious women and men of the region, and a wide variety of civil society organizations. We hope that this appeal finds you well, and that you will assist us in making it echo throughout the world.

She is the only writer in history that actually put the foundations for peaceful life for everybody. As a doctor of psychology and sociologist she analyzes the roots of the evil in every nation and individual that are religion misinterpretation, the class society, the exclusion of minorities, the global imperialism, the paternalistic pattern of societies, hypocrisy... To those who insult her and describe her as atheist, know that she transcends the prophets themselves as she didnt kill anybody, she didnt run for power...And the list is long of what made of her an unprecedented figure in the history. She has spent her life honoring the true values of the symbol of God that are love, respect, truth, justice, intelligence, creativity... She is inviting humanity to dissidence and continuous questionning about God and humans. Her project of sustainable peace will win against historical words that justify lasting war and hate... She deserves to be honored with Nobel Prize.

As a friend and supporter and reader of Nawal al-Sadawi since some forty years I know that she is outstanding, both as a novelist and a progressive, feminist campaigner, so I hestitate of she should have the Nobel Peace Prize or the Literature price, but the definitely deserves one of them.
