Oleksandra Matviychuk is a Ukrainian human rights defender, and the head of the Centre for Civil Liberties, a Ukrainian NGO which was awarded the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize. Volodymyr Yermolenko, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, speaks to Oleksandra Matviychuk about her Nobel lecture, the need to bring back focus on human rights worldwide, and the need to ensure justice for the victims of war.
The goal of the series Thinking in Dark Times is to make Ukraine and its current war a focal point of our common reflection about the world’s present, past, and future. We try to see light through and despite the current darkness.
