The First Female Prisoner of Conscience in Georgia

It has been more than one month since Mzia Amaglobeli — founder of Batumelebi and Netgazeti, two of Georgia’s most well-regarded independent media platforms – was arrested. She has been on hunger strike ever since. Due to the critical risk of organ failure, Amaglobeli was relocated to a hospital outside of Tbilisi. The refusal by Batumi court to lift her pre-trial detention period, the strictest measure possible, means that she must remain in detainment until her trial on March 4th. The Council of Europe’s human rights commissioner says her pre-trial detention for assaulting a police officer is unjustified.

Amplifying Palestinian Voices: An Interview with Loor from the GENARRATION Project

As part of the GENARRATION project, we had the privilege of conducting a face-to-face interview in Tallinn with Loor, a young Palestinian from Jerusalem. In this conversation, Loor shares her personal story, the challenges faced by Palestinian youth, and the importance of reshaping narratives surrounding Palestinian identity. The interview was conducted by our member Fatya, with questions prepared and editorial work by our member Sümeyye.

The Woman Who Inspires Me Most…

The members of IWNE have shared stories of the women who inspire them—women whose courage, kindness, and determination have shaped their lives. From teachers and activists to sisters and pioneers, these women remind us that inspiration is found not only in history books but in everyday acts of strength and resilience.

The Perfectionist’s Guide to Starting and Growing a Business

“Just do it” Just start the business. Be that cool, tech-savvy entrepreneur who just quit their job and then starts their entrepreneurial journey. I don't know about you ladies, but I never thought that was very realistic. More importantly, I could never relate to it. Oh, I’m Maria-Katarina Johannesson by the way, or you can just call me “Maria” or Linksandmaria. I am not one of those cool entrepreneur people. I am a female business owner who is still trying to find her place. And honestly, it’s quite a lonely place to be, which is why I believe communities like IWNE play such an important role. I am still on my journey, it’s a bumpy one (especially since I have this not always very charming trait of being a perfectionist, which sometimes means focusing on the wrong things).
