Female journalists globally face an escalation of attacks - smear campaigns, racist and gendered attacks, detentions, deportations, censorship, and police violence - leading to a chilling silencing of their voices in media.
Coalition for Women in Journalism notes crackdowns on women journalists globally from Poland to the US due to declining political will in maintaining press freedom, putting women and non-binary journalists at the frontline of risk.
Specific cases highlight the harsh reality: Iranian journalist Parisa Salehi sentenced, Kurdish journalist Perihan Kaya facing charges in Turkey, and Canadian Indigenous reporter Brandi Morin charged by police during her reporting.
