Looking at Women Looking at War by #VictoriaAmelina Congratulations to all involved in getting this remarkable & moving book to the world!
“In the Faustian battle between hope & despair, Crawshaw leaves us with hope. His is a timely message at a moment when international justice movements are facing an existential threat to their very existence” #2025MoorePrize Jury commented. #HumanRights shortlist
“Although this is about a section of Indian society, it covers many angles of #humanrights. Dixit digs deep into the causes of capitalism, inequality, gender, authoritarianism & violent nationalism in a way that has universal relevance” #2025MoorePrize shortlist
“This was a powerful narrative of how the war interupted ordinary lives in #Ukraine. The writing is vivid and it is completely extraordinary how the collective finished the book after Amelina was killed by a Russian bomb.” #2025MoorePrize shortlist #HumanRights writing.
The Jury said: “Most of the public is not aware of the deep issues surrounding international adoption, particularly in conflict zones. This is a compelling story that has resonance for adoption in other crises.” #2025MoorePrize shortlist #HumanRights
