Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has left deep scars across the country. According to international monitors, tens of thousands of civilians have been killed, and millions more have been displaced from their homes. Reports of mass executions, torture, sexual violence and forced deportations continue to emerge from occupied territories. But these atrocities have not gone undocumented.
Oleksandra Matviichuk, a Ukrainian human rights lawyer who heads of the Center for Civil Liberties, has led tireless efforts to document human rights violations and war crimes committed by Russian forces. Her organization’s mission focuses on gathering credible evidence of these crimes to ensure accountability and justice in future international trials.
For its courageous work in defending human rights and promoting democratic values, the Center for Civil Liberties was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.
Matviichuk is a leading international voice for justice, appearing across global media platforms to call for accountability and to keep Ukraine’s struggle on the world’s agenda. She has been named among the BBC 100 Women, a global list recognizing women who stand at the heart of conflict and resistance and has been recognized by the Financial Times as one of the 25 most influential women in the world.
