The CFWIJ has followed SLAPPs against women journalists extensively in recent years, specially in view of the case of journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, who faced multiple SLAPPs before she was murdered. The brutal killing of Daphne in Malta served as a turning point in devising an anti-SLAPP directive, said speakers at the European Parliament in June, 2021. In recent years we have seen an increasing number of SLAPPs targeting women journalists. This year, the CFWIJ has documented many such vicious lawsuits against women journalists in different parts of the world.

On April 11, at 11 AM ET, CFWIJ is hosting a panel discussion on SLAPP cases against journalists in Europe. This event brings together experts who have several crucial works on SLAPP and journalists who stood trial for the SLAPP brought against them.
