By the side of civil society, which stands up for democracy and the rule of law in the heart of Europe.\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-09a0971 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"09a0971\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-af9ae30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"af9ae30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.demokratiepreis-bonn.de\/en\/pressemappe\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-far-newspaper\" viewbox=\"0 0 576 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M552 64H112c-20.858 0-38.643 13.377-45.248 32H24c-13.255 0-24 10.745-24 24v272c0 30.928 25.072 56 56 56h496c13.255 0 24-10.745 24-24V88c0-13.255-10.745-24-24-24zM48 392V144h16v248c0 4.411-3.589 8-8 8s-8-3.589-8-8zm480 8H111.422c.374-2.614.578-5.283.578-8V112h416v288zM172 280h136c6.627 0 12-5.373 12-12v-96c0-6.627-5.373-12-12-12H172c-6.627 0-12 5.373-12 12v96c0 6.627 5.373 12 12 12zm28-80h80v40h-80v-40zm-40 140v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h136c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H172c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm192 0v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm0-144v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12zm0 72v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h104c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12H364c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Press release, speeches, photos and reports<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-554109293\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-554109293\" data-tab-index=\"3\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 3;\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0430e00 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0430e00\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3474b3c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"3474b3c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c87cab elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6c87cab\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"191\" height=\"141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.demokratiepreis-bonn.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Leymah_Roberta_Gbowee_MichaelAngeloforWonderlandhighresolutionfaceforward_2018.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-771\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd87152 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cd87152\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d80b24f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d80b24f\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2235be6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2235be6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><strong>Leymah Roberta Gbowee<\/strong><\/h3><p>Leymah Roberta Gbowee, Liberian civil rights activist and Nobel Peace Prize winner, was awarded the Bonn International Democracy Prize at a ceremony in the Old Town Hall of the Federal City of Bonn on November 16, 2018.
