Christina Lamb Biography
Christina Lamb is a British foreign correspondent and author, serving as chief foreign correspondent for The Sunday Times of London. Lamb has reported from conflict zones worldwide, beginning with Afghanistan after an unexpected wedding invitation led her to Karachi at age 22. She moved to Peshawar to cover the mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union and was named Young Journalist of the Year within two years. Over her career, Lamb has covered conflicts from Afghanistan to Sudan, Iraq to Ukraine, with a particular focus on the impact of war on women.
Lamb has received 19 major awards, including five British Press Awards and the European Prix Bayeux-Calvados for war correspondents. She is an honorary fellow of University College Oxford, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and a global fellow for the Wilson Centre for International Affairs in Washington, D.C. Lamb has been recognized with the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Society of Editors and the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting understanding of war. She received the Foreign Press Association award for Feature of the Year for reporting on the Chibok girls in Nigeria and Amnesty International's Newspaper Journalist of the Year for reporting from inside Libyan detention centers. Lamb was appointed an OBE by Elizabeth II for services to journalism.
Lamb has authored 10 books, including "I Am Malala," "The Girl from Aleppo," and "Our Bodies, Their Battlefield." "I Am Malala," co-written with Malala Yousafzai, was named Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year in the British National Book Awards. "Our Bodies, Their Battlefield," which examines sexual violence in conflict, has been recognized for its contribution to the discourse on war crimes and gender-based violence. Lamb's first play, "Drones, Baby, Drones," co-written with Ron Hutchinson, was performed at London's Arcola Theatre.
Throughout her career, Lamb has focused on the effects of war on women, highlighting the use of rape as a weapon of war and the lack of accountability for such crimes. She has faced significant personal risk in the field, including surviving a Taliban ambush of British troops in Helmand and being present during the bombing of Benazir Bhutto's bus. Lamb has made 15 undercover trips to Zimbabwe, continuing her investigative reporting even after being declared an enemy of the state by the Mugabe regime for her exposé of rape camps.
Lamb is a global champion for UN Education Cannot Wait, an honorary fellow of University College Oxford, a board member of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and an associate of the Imperial War Museum. She is a public speaker, delivering talks at NATO conferences, TEDx events on women and war, and storytelling performances for The Moth in London and New York. Her portrait has been displayed in the National Portrait Gallery and the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, reflecting her impact on journalism and public discourse.
