The Woman Who Rebuilt Liberia | Ellen Sirleaf | 365 People Who Changed The World | Ep-122

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf made history in 2006 when she became Africa's first elected female head of state, taking leadership of Liberia after years of devastating civil war. Known as the "Iron Lady," Sirleaf faced the enormous challenge of rebuilding a nation whose institutions, economy, and infrastructure had been deeply damaged by conflict. During her presidency, she focused on restoring Liberia's economy, strengthening democratic institutions, fighting corruption, improving education and healthcare, and promoting women's participation in public life. In 2011, Sirleaf was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, alongside Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman, for their nonviolent struggle for the safety of women and women's rights to participate fully in peace-building. In this documentary, we explore the life, political journey, leadership, achievements, challenges, and enduring legacy of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf—the trailblazing leader who helped guide Liberia toward peace and became a symbol of women's leadership across Africa.
