On August 11, a crowd attacked three reporters working with The Caravan, in upper east Delhi's North Ghonda neighborhood. For around 90 minutes, the three reporters — Shahid Tantray, Prabhjit Singh and a woman journalist, whose name is not disclosed for safety reasons — endured an onslaught of racist, islamophobic and sexist slurs, death threats. The woman journalist was also sexually harassed.

On February 24, riots erupted in the northeast side of the city. Unfortunately, and very quickly, journalists reporting on developments on the ground are being targeted since. CFWIJ has been documenting the attacks on women journalists in this scenario and we have come across some unpleasant cases that have put these journalists at severe risk. We urge authorities to show some responsibility and make genuine efforts to bring this violence to an end. We also urge journalists to take extreme precaution while reporting on the ground.
