Press Freedom Day Panel: Press Freedom and Gender

Events
Written By

In different parts of the world, states are increasingly stifling the press and making efforts to spread misinformation. Women journalists report at great risk; often at the receiving end of online harassment, vexatious litigations, death threats, and murders.

The Coalition For Women In Journalism has closely monitored these attacks and brought journalists together in a safe space to build mutual trust and fellowship among them.

On May 10, 2022, at 3:00 PM CET, CFWIJ discussed the global landscape for women journalists and what the future holds for them. This event was led by renowned and distinguished award-winning journalists worldwide, including women advocates from different organizations in Europe:

  • Kiran Nazish — journalist and founding director at the Coalition For Women In Journalism

  • Vera Jourova — Vice President of the European Commission for Values and Transparency

  • Jodie Ginsberg — President of Committee To Protect Journalists 

  • Corinne Vella — sister of Daphne Caurana Galizia and lead at The Daphne Caruana Galizia Foundation
