In June 2022, only a few months after Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, laureates Jody Williams, Tawakkol Karman and Leymah Gbowee travelled to Krakow in Poland and Lviv in Ukraine to express solidarity with Ukrainian people, and to hear about the challenges and priorities of women as they faced the brutal war. Some of what they heard was documented in “Oh, Sister!”, a powerful documentary about six women and their fight for peace, justice and freedom in Ukraine.
Almost a year later, Nobel Women’s Initiative went back to Ukraine to show the film at the Bucha Journalism Conference, where reporters from Ukraine and abroad discussed the complexities, responsibilities and ethical challenges in reporting on war.
