Txell Feixas Torras (Mediona, 1979) has been a journalist for more than twenty years, the last decade focused on the Middle East. Based in Beirut, she worked as a correspondent for TV3 (National Catalan TV) and Catalunya Ràdio, covering some of the region’s most defining events: the war in Syria, the conflict in Iraq, the fall of the Islamic State, the Great March of Return in Gaza, the Taliban’s return to power in Afghanistan, and the devastating earthquakes in Turkey.

In 2021, she published her first book, Dones valentes (Ara Llibres, 2021), with 8 reprints and over 20,000 copies sold. Both as a journalist and as an author, she is known for giving voice to women living in vulnerable or conflict-ridden contexts, and for a style of reporting that combines rigor, empathy, and determination.

Her work has been recognized with major awards, including the National Prize for Journalism and Media from the Catalan Government and the Montserrat Roig Jury Prize from the City of Barcelona, among others. These honors underline her commitment to a form of journalism that sheds light on stories often silenced, particularly those of women navigating war, displacement, and resilience.
