Celebrating 36 Years of Courage in Journalism
For 36 years, the IWMF Courage Awards have been a beacon of recognition for the fearless women in journalism who shed light on taboo topics, navigate hostile environments, and bravely share challenging truths. These women exemplify the spirit of resilience and courage, often at great personal risk, to bring vital stories to the forefront.
The Courage Awards not only celebrate individual achievements but also highlight the significance of the stories that sometimes go untold. Women journalists serve as the eyes and ears of their communities, breaking barriers and challenging societal norms through their unwavering commitment to truth and integrity. Their work inspires future generations of journalists to pursue their passions, no matter the obstacles they may face.
The nomination process for the 2025 IWMF Courage Awards is now open, inviting submissions until March 30. This is an opportunity to acknowledge and honor those remarkable women who have made invaluable contributions to journalism while bravely addressing issues that many shy away from.
