Ayaan Hirsi Ali was born on November 13, 1969, in Mogadishu, Banaadir, Somali. She is a Dutch-American activist, feminist, author, scholar, and former politician. She is an advocate for Muslim women’s rights and self-determination, and denounces Islamic extremism, while also being seen by many as an extremist for her strongly-held and widely-published views on subjugating core Islamic values to Western liberalism. She was a senior fellow at the Future of Democracy Project at Harvard Kennedy School, founded the AHA Foundation, an organization defending women's rights, works for the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and for the American Enterprise Institute. From 2003 to 2006, Hirsi Ali was a member of the House of Representatives of the Netherlands, and represented the centre-right People's Party for Freedom and Democracy. In 2005, Time magazine named Hirsi Ali one of the 100 most influential people in the world. She is also the recipient of Danish newspaper 'Jyllands-Posten' free speech award, the Swedish Liberal Party's Democracy Prize, and the Moral Courage Award. Hirsi Ali married in 2011, migrated to the United States, and became a U.S. citizen in 2013. This month we celebrate Women's History and honor Ayaan Hirsi Ali for her commitment to resolve conflict, ethics, and world citizenship.
