In recent surveys, 36% of journalists reported threats or experiences of physical violence, while 33% faced digital violence and 28% encountered legal threats in their work.
Every photojournalist we spoke to shared their experiences of harm, highlighting not just threats but also harassment faced from law enforcement, impacting their safety and work.
The ongoing efforts aim to address the alarming trend of dehumanization of journalists, who are essential for society, often facing hostility in the line of their work.
As we move forward, it's critical we focus on protecting journalists who are particularly vulnerable to harassment due to their identity or the subjects they cover.
