Women Who Won the War
In wars, women's suffering is stereotyped, and they are confined to the roles of victims—wives, mothers, and daughters of heroes or the fallen.

"Women Who Won the War" provides spaces for women to tell their stories in different ways. It also offers support, training, and mentorship to female journalists in conflict zones, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, enabling them to tell and capture stories with a more feminist perspective that takes into account our diversity as human beings.
This website was launched under the "Jim Hoge Legacy" fellowship in partnership with the International Center for Journalists.
