Martyna Wojciechowska
Martyna Wojciechowska is an award-winning journalist, documentary filmmaker, explorer and human rights advocate who has spent more than two decades using storytelling to create meaningful social impact.
One of Poland’s most trusted public figures, she has built a career at the intersection of journalism, exploration and social advocacy. She climbed Mount Everest just a year and a half after a serious spinal injury, completed the Seven Summits, competed in the Dakar Rally and is a member of The Explorers Club.
For almost 18 years, Martyna has created and hosted Woman at the End of the World, a documentary series produced for TVN, part of Warner Bros. Discovery. Across six continents and around 150 episodes, she has brought viewers closer to women whose courage, resilience and struggles challenge the way we see the world – from survivors of violence and discrimination to women fighting for their rights, safety and independence. For ten years, Martyna also served as editor-in-chief of the Polish editions of National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler.
Her documentary The Ghost People, exploring the persecution of people with albinism in Tanzania, received the Golden Nymph at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival. It was during her work in Tanzania that Martyna met Kabula, a young woman with albinism whom she later adopted. Their relationship became a deeply personal example of something that has defined Martyna’s work throughout her career. Today, she brings the same commitment to her social-impact work. Through the UNAWEZA Foundation and YOUNG HEADS, one of Poland’s largest youth mental health initiatives, Martyna has helped bring the mental health of children and young people into the national conversation, reaching millions of young people, parents and educators.
