Join us for a Master Class on Turkemnistan at UNIGE Human Rights Week, Tuesday Nov. 21 @12h30-14h !
The World Press Freedom Index ranked Turkmenistan one of the five most repressive regimes globally in 2023.
Martin Ennals Award Finalist Soltan Achilova is a 74 years-old photojournalist who captures the lives of ordinary people in Turkmenistan with her camera. Soltan's pictures describing food insecurity, forced and illegal evictions, lack of adequate healthcare and the discrimination faced by people with disabilities, are an invaluable source of information on human rights violations endured by the people of Turkmenistan.
In collaboration with the University of Geneva Human Rights Week this event will explore how independent journalism can push back on the denial of freedom of expression in the toughest authoritarian contexts.
