Russia’s prison population is seeing a rise in incarcerated women, including mothers imprisoned for anti-war activism, political dissent, or alleged extremism, who are often separated from their children and isolated. Despite appeals from figures like Eva Merkacheva to Vladimir Putin for pardons during holidays, no releases occurred. Later, exiled activists launched another appeal on International Women’s Day, highlighting at least twenty mothers who urgently require compassionate release.
