📌 The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is known for its hotspots and conflicts

Countries are ruled by repressive regimes that use censorship and threats to hold on to power While civil resistance movements are relentlessly being stifled, journalists are notoriously accused of blasphemy, offending the religious feelings, inciting chaos or jeopardizing national unity. They are persecuted, detained and even tortured. Women carry a double burden due to their visibly weaker position in a society. Thus, they are exposed to sexual harassment, affected by double standards at work and suffer from vicious misogynic attacks. They experience firsthand being belittled and undermined in a professional environment. CFWIJ’s @katia_mierzejewska will speak to Masana Ndinga-Kanga, Advocacy Lead for MENA & Women Human Rights Defenders of @civicusalliance about gender-based violence in the MENA region and the continuous crackdown on press freedom. Tune in into our #InstaLive on Thursday, March 4 at 2:00 PM CET.
