Rape Crisis England & Wales are delighted to join the steering group for EVAW's Write to End Violence Against Women Awards.
This moment is particularly special; Gloria Steinem’s life and work remind us of journalism’s extraordinary power to bring marginalised and 'hidden' issues affecting women's lives into mainstream public awareness, and to challenge systemic injustices.
We're honoured to play a part in recognising and rewarding the next generation of high quality VAWG writer.
Endorsed by the National Union of Journalists, these awards celebrate accurate and responsible journalism that raises awareness about men’s violence against women while centring survivors, tackling myths and harmful narratives, and pointing towards the support available.
We know violence against women is preventable, and changing how the media reports on it is a good place to start. Be part of this positive movement for change by sharing the awards with your networks and nominating high-quality articles on VAWG.
Awards are given in these categories:
- Best news piece
- Best feature
- Best investigation
- Best opinion and comment
- Best blog and self-published (e.g. Substack)
- Best broadcast (experts’ pick)
- Wooden Spoon (experts’ pick)
See last year’s winners and shortlisted articles here.
Nominations will close at midnight on the 30th September 2026.
