Oleksandra Matviichuk

Oleksandra heads Ukraine’s Center for Civil Liberties, which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2022. Recognised as one of the 25 most influential women in the world by the Financial Times that same year, her work focuses on protecting human rights and establishing democracy in Ukraine and the OSCE region through legislative change, public oversight and education. Oleksandra also coordinates the work of the Euromaidan SOS initiative, which monitors persecution in occupied Crimea as well as documenting war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Donbas region. She is the author of numerous reports to UN bodies as well as the Council of Europe, the EU, the OSCE and the International Criminal Court (ICC). Following Russia’s full-scale invasion, Oleksandra created the Tribunal for Putin initiative with partners to document international crimes.
