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.
