Pussy Riot to Join WITW Summit

Pussy Riot members Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina who endured nearly two years in jail for protesting against Vladimir Putin and recently set up the NGO Zona Prava, will speak at the Women in the World Summit in New York next month. “We are thrilled to be joined by these passionate women at a time when the Ukraine ferment makes their stand against Putin ever more relevant” said Tina Brown, the founder of Women in the World. The two women will join other speakers, including Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, and Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka. The summit will take place April 3-5. For more information, click here.
