Portrett av prisvinnerne

The Peace Prize Committee has, on behalf of all Norwegian students, decided that the Student Peace Prize of 2023 goes to DOXA Magazine for their work for free expression and press in Russia.


DOXA is awarded the Student Peace Prize 2023 for their courageous work exposing corruption and sexual harassment at universities, documenting state persecution, and fighting government disinformation. The prize is awarded on behalf of all Norwegian students and is a collaboration between The International Student Festival in Trondheim (SFiT), The solidarity organization of students and academics in Norway (SAIH) and The National Union of Students in Norway (NSO).

DOXA’s work highlights the importance of not cutting ties with critical actors living under authoritarianism, who need to know their opposition is recognized, and who will be essential to the reconstruction of a free and democratic society in the future.

Today's event will shed light on DOXAs work and the human right situation within Russia.
