For this year's nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, two young Muslim women from Africa have been nominated – Ilwad Elman, 29, from Somalia and Hajer Sharief, 26, from Libya. Both are a part of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan's Extremely Together initiative, which brings together 10 young activists from around the world.

Ilwad Elman is originally from Mogadishu, Somalia, born to parents who were both involved in humanitarian and peace work themselves, Fartuum Adan and Elman Ali Ahmed. While her mother, alongside herself and her sisters, received asylum in Canada, her father was assassinated for being involved in youth rehabilitation and humanitarian peace work after the war of the 1990s and early 2000s. Returning to Somalia in 2010 at the age of 19, Elman worked tirelessly in both the humanitarian and women's rights sectors within Somalia to continue the work of her father as well as to bring her own unique courage and strength for peace in her country. One of the many achievements of Elman's work in Somalia is founding Somalia's first rape crisis center for survivors of gender-based violence and abuse.
