Letter Published in The National UAE on 7 Oct 18 Congratulations to the Nobel peace prize winners

I write in reference to your article Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad win Nobel Peace prize 2018 (October 6): The National’s article was good to read. The first ever Iraqi winner, Nadia Murad, received the prestigious Nobel Prize along with Congolese gynaecologist Denis Mukwege for their outstanding work on sexual violence and war crimes. Their service to thousands of women psychologically and physically scarred by abuse and violence is truly laudable. Today women across the world need to have their rights and bodies protected and this incredible duo thoroughly deserve the prize. Kudos to them both.
