To commemorate this year’s International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, the Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media is launching the #SOFJO Resource Guide created in the framework of the project on Safety of Female Journalists Online.
The Guide provides a series of proposed actions for ten key stakeholder groups to address gender-based online abuse of journalists. The stakeholders include both State and non-State actors: the executive branch of government; the legislative branch of government; the judiciary; law enforcement agencies; intergovernmental organizations; internet intermediaries; media outlets; journalists’ organizations and self-regulatory bodies; civil society organizations and educational institutions; and journalists and media workers. The Guide identifies a concrete way forward, and provides a list of useful resources and examples of existing measures and good practices.
The event will provide a platform for the key stakeholders to discuss the proposed actions to tackle the challenges women journalists are facing online as well as the implications that gender-based online abuse has on the freedom of expression and the quality of our democracies. The event is organized as the next step in the #SOFJO project, to assist States and non-State actors across the OSCE region to take real action to improve the digital safety of women journalists – and to walk the talk.
