Women Press Freedom condemns the harassment faced by journalist Nishtha Gautam on LinkedIn. She was contacted under the guise of professional networking, but it quickly turned into inappropriate messages.

This incident highlights the misuse of professional platforms and the urgent need for Big Tech to implement stronger safety mechanisms, ensuring a safer digital space for women and gender minorities against online harassment and threats.
