Journalist Leigh Sales was viciously attacked by supporters of the Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews. The attack happened online in the aftermath of a press conference during which Sales had questioned Andrews' policy.

The Coalition For Women In Journalism is utterly disturbed to be reporting on the third online attack towards women journalists this week alone. We call upon all journalism organizations and law enforcement in respective countries to mobilize against the online intimidation and silencing campaigns towards women journalists which often involve profanities, doxxing and hacking.
