Vienna Women's Prize celebrates three recipients at 25th anniversary

The 25th Vienna Women's Prize was awarded at the City Hall under the motto ‘Making women visible’. The ceremony honored three recipients across different categories for their societal contributions.

The femchor received the ‘Everyday Heroine’ award. Founded in 2020, the choir combines musical performance with political activism, focusing on equality, inclusion, and the visibility of genderqueer individuals through a repertoire of pop arrangements and songs of feminist resistance.

Journalist and author Ingrid Brodnig was honored in the ‘Digitalization’ category. As an expert on digital issues, she addresses topics such as the manosphere, incels, and deepfakes. She has previously served as Austria’s ‘Digital Ambassador’ to the EU.

Slavic studies scholar Katja Sturm-Schnabl received the ‘Witness of the Times’ award. Born in 1936, she survived detention in Nazi camps as a child. Her research on the Slovenian cultural history of Carinthia and her ongoing commitment to human rights and memory culture were recognized.
