Applications are open for the 2021 IWMF Courage in Journalism Awards. The Courage in Journalism Awards show people that female journalists will not stand aside, cannot be silenced, and deserve to be recognized for their strength in the face of adversity. Honor courageous journalists who report on taboo subjects, work in environments hostile to women, and share difficult truths.
The IWMF also recognizes pioneers who broke down barriers to enable women around the world to find their voices and make them heard. The Lifetime Achievement Award winners persevered and opened the doors for future generations to make a difference. These women demonstrate a commitment to press freedom and extraordinary strength of character, overcoming unfair conditions to become leaders in their industry.
The IWMF Annual Courage in Journalism Awards honor women journalists who excel in exhibiting extraordinary courage, persistence, and resilience. By doing whatever it takes to uncover the truth, these women raise the bar for reporting under duress or in the face of censorship.
