Representatives of Polish-Ukrainian project Sestry visit NUJU

The long-time editor of the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza, the initiator of the international online magazine for women, Jerzy Wójcik, and the deputy editor-in-chief of Sestry, Nataliya Riaba, have visited the Kyiv Journalists’ Solidarity Center of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine (NUJU).

“When the war started, I left Gazeta Wyborcza and started carrying humanitarian aid to Borodianka. There, I met displaced journalists and realized that we have to act,” Jerzy Wójcik said.

This is how the Sestry project was born: on the basis of the successful feminist initiative Gazeta Wyborcza, High Hills.

“My colleagues from Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Kyiv began to tell how they saved themselves from the war with their children… Everything turned into group therapy. We cried together, and I understood – we are doing an important thing with the right people,” Jerzy Wójcik recalled.

The NUJU First Secretary, Lina Kushch, presented the photo exhibitions exhibited in the main office of the Union, spoke about the network of Journalists’ Solidarity Centers and the importance of the assistance that Gazeta Wyborcza provided to Ukrainian media from the first days of the war.
