As she was presented with the Woman of Courage award, the Russian democracy campaigner said 'I wish I could accept it under different circumstances'Speaking in London at the Women of the Year awards, where she was presented with the Woman of Courage award by former Prime Minister Theresa May, Ms Navalnaya said it was a great honour, but added: “I wish I could accept it under different circumstances.
Yulia Navalnaya was presented her award by Former Prime Minister Theresa May at the event in London on Monday “While women’s influence is growing worldwide, in Russia, we are still held back. By holding women back, they can control society more easily. “In a regime that uses fear and oppressions as its main tools, these qualities are crucial for survival and success. Women bring not only courage to their strengths, but also deep sense of empathy and understanding of the personal sacrifices involved.”
