To what extent is gender equality incorporated in mechanisms for the protection of journalists?

The presentation will draw on - a case study collaboration between International Media Support (IMS) and the The International Association of Women in Radio and Television (IAWART).

As part of the work of a coalition against online violence , Free Press Unlimited is leading advocacy to establish international standards on online violence against women journalists. At present there is no global policy in this area.
