In her acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize in December 2022, Oleksandra Matviichuk reminded the world that we ‘don’t have to be Ukrainians to support Ukraine. It is enough just to be humans.’
At the RSA, in partnership with the Ukrainian Institute London, Oleksandra Matviichuk will reflect on her work as head of the Center for Civil Liberties, an organisation that has promoted the protection of human rights and has worked tirelessly to document war crimes and human rights violations perpetrated in Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Join us to explore how new alliances for the defence of human rights and the restoration of justice can serve as the basis of peace in Ukraine and the world.
