The International Women’s Media Foundation has awarded this year’s Anja Niedringhaus Courage in Photojournalism Award to Andrea Bruce.
Bruce’s focuses on people living in the aftermath of war, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Women journalists have long been vulnerable to work-related harassment and other dangers that we are just now starting to talk about,” said Elisa Lees Muñoz, executive director of the IWMF. “This award is about honoring those who operate in areas of greatest risk yet stay laser focused on those who, as they will tell you, are the real heroes.”
