Olga Volynska, part of the 2019 Rights Reframed cohort, is a human rights activist, writer, documentarian, and journalist from Ukraine. Her project is a short documentary that follows the life of three former female civil POWs.
The piece aims to reduce stigma surrounding women who were POWs in order to ensure they’re aware of their rights and to build support for those rights among the public and at the state level. This is her first experience creating a media project.
