All too often, women journalists are silenced by online hate & abuse, online rape threats, digital security hazards or targeted disinformation.

The 2nd #GenderJustice session today discusses how to ensure better preventive & protective mechanisms for female media workers. #SOFJO
I am concerned by the numerous death threats @novarsonline journalist @JelenaObucina in #Serbia has been receiving lately. This should be swiftly investigated and stopped. Protection of journalists is of paramount importance and one of the pre-conditions for #mediafreedom. #SOFJO
Following a year of excellent co-operation with the @oscepa, great to see the 2022 Resolution on Combating Violence against Women Journalists & Politicians, urging states to #endVaW. Discrimination & violence intensify in conflict situations, see: https://www.oscepa.org/en/documents/annual-sessions/2022-birmingham/declaration-28 #SOFJO
On the 1st International Police Cooperation Day, I underscore the vital role of law enforcement in protecting journalists & investigating attacks against them. Read my 6th #SafetyOfJournalists report on this topic & on the fight against impunity: https://www.osce.org/files/f/documents/5/0/551431.pdf

The police are highlighted as 1 of 10 critical stakeholders in the #SOFJO Resource Guide, focusing on their essential role in investigating online violence against female journalists.
