Anna Alboth is a Polish journalist, blogger and political activist. She gained international attention as the initiator of the Civil March for Aleppo—a peace march on foot from Berlin to Aleppo from December 2016 to August 2017, for which she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018.
In 2009, Anna and her husband Thomas Alboth launched the travel blog The Family Without Borders, which won National Geographic Poland’s “Travel Blog of the Year” in 2011. While living in Berlin in the times of the 2015 European migrant crisis, she used the popularity of the travel blog and social media to collect sleeping bags in Poland and clothing for refugees waiting on the streets in Berlin for their asylum procedure. In December 2016, she initiated the Civil March for Aleppo.
Since 2018, she has been working for the human rights organisation Minority Rights Group International. In the summer of 2021, she was a co-initiator and then a member of Grupa Granica. In 2024, the EU-Council of Europe joint programme EQUIROM awarded Anna Alboth the Journalism Excellence Award in the ‘Global Event’ category.
