Why did development banks stay silent when people who spoke out about COVID-19 responses were attacked? ifex.org - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from ifex.org Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Be Safe, Not Silent. IFEX adopted this phrase in 2020 as a kind of touchstone, to help guide our work through the pandemic. It signals that we are doing all we can to stay safe, while pursuing our mission of upholding, defending, and exercising the right to freedom of expression. The In Our Own Words project is an example of this approach.
What s journalism without women journalists?
Women journalists around the world are exposed to hate and incitement on the Internet, ultimately threatening independent journalism and causing self-censorship, writes Silvia Chocarro, chair of ARTICLE 19, in her op-ed.
Imagine if only one side of the story could be told, if only part of a photo could be seen, if half of the world s population had no voice. This is journalism without the lines of text, the shutter-clicks and the voices of women journalists driven from journalism because of online harassment.
The fact that women journalists are increasingly harassed online is not a secret. One only needs to open any social media platform and the misogynistic threats are in plain sight. Unlike their male counterparts, women are confronted with gender-based harassment, including sexual threats. Warning: what you will read will shock you.
