Biography Asatu Bah Kenneth is an anti-war activist who organised Muslim women protests calling an end to the Liberian civil war. She teamed up with fellow Liberian peace activist Leymah Roberta Gbowee, founder of a women's peace movement, Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace. Her protests, mostly involving women clad in white, included sex strikes and sit-ins that successfully engendered ceasefire negotiations resulting to the exile and subsequent trial of Charles Taylor at the Hague for crimes against humanity.

Together with Beatrice Munah Sieh and Vera Manly, Asatu was among three key female figures who helped to shape NLP's "gender sensitive" reforms.
