Africa had its first female President elected in 2006 with Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Sister Waangari Maathai is the first African Woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Several African states have elected women to their parliaments with 48% holding seats in Rwanda to Tanzania and South Africa holding 30% of parliamentary seats. July 2012, South African Minister Dlamina Zuma won the chair position to the African Union.

Join them in honoring African women from South Afrika to South Central at Pan African Women’s Day 2012.
