Of Karman, the Nobel Committee said: "In the most trying circumstances, both before and during the 'Arab spring', Tawakkul Karman has played a leading part in the struggle for women’s rights and for democracy and peace in Yemen."

The Nobel Committee cited the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, adopted in 2000, which states that women and children suffer great harm from war and political instability and that women must have a larger influence and role in peacemaking activities; it also "[c]alls on all actors involved, when negotiating and implementing peace agreements, to adopt a gender perspective."

Upon announcing the award, the committee chairman [[Thorbjørn Jagland]] said: "We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women obtain the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society." He later added that the prize was "a very important signal to women all over the world"

and that, despite the events of the [[Arab Spring]], "there are many other positive developments in the world that we have looked at. I think it is a little strange that researchers and others have not seen them." He had earlier said the prize for the year would be "very powerful... but at the same time very unifying [and would] not create as strong reactions from a single country as it did last year [with [[Liu Xiaobo]]]." The 2011 prize is to be divided equally among the three recipients,

from a total of 10 million [[Swedish kronor]].

In reaction to the award Karman, while camped out in Sana'a during ongoing anti-government protests, said: "I didn’t expect it. It came as a total surprise. This is a victory for Arabs around the world and a victory for Arab women" and that the award was a "victory of our peaceful revolution. I am so happy, and I give this award to all of the youth and all of the women across the Arab world, in Egypt, in Tunisia. We cannot build our country or any country in the world without peace,"

After the announcement, Karman traveled to [[Qatar]] where she met with Sheikh [[Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani]] and also requested the [[Doha Centre for Media Freedom]]'s assistance to set up a television and radio station, which would be named ''[[Bilqis]]'', in honour of the [[Queen of Sheba]], in order to support female journalists and to broadly educate Yemeni journalists.
