The webinar is one of CFWIJ’s advocacy campaign activities that we launched to support Pakistani women journalists in line with the #AttacksWontSilenceUs campaign.
Our in-focus page on Pakistan is a deep dive into the dynamics women journalists encounter reporting from the counter. This focus page offers knowledgeable data we have gathered from Pakistan over two years, and plugs in some useful insight and testimonies about experiences of women journalists. we launched #ThreatsToWIJ campaign to create more public awareness about the threats women journalists face as a response to the murder of journalist Shaheena Shaheen. The campaign highlighted the dire reality of women journalists and we concluded its finding in a report.
This webinar aims to discuss the future of press freedom in Pakistan and provide recommendations to improve the state of press freedom in Pakistan. Please feel free to share your suggestions and insights with us on hashtag #ThreatsToWIJ or @CFWIJ.
