Judges for the award wrote: “Karla Zabludovsky wrote with great passion and a sense of urgency about ordinary women in Latin America whose lives were upended by the restrictive – and sometimes deadly – reproductive health laws that are the norm in the region. Her profile of a Bolivian mayor who was savagely attacked displayed the reporter’s ability to use an extraordinary moment in a person’s life to illuminate a broader issue: in this case, the entrenched misogyny that female politicians in Latin America grapple with. Zabludosky operated under dangerous conditions, traveling across the region to report with authority and sensitivity. Her work embodies the spirit of the Madeline Dane Ross Award: deeply reported stories about the human condition.”
