View this email in the Hub International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists Learn More Yesterday was the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists. It is an opportunity to recognize the crucial work journalists do in support of democracy, freedom of expression and information, and human rights around the world. Unfortunately, according to the UNESCO observatory, since the beginning of 2021, over 100 journalists have been killed and many more were attacked, harassed or unlawfully imprisoned. Furthermore, woman journalists have been disproportionately impacted by this trend, as 73 percent of the women journalists surveyed, said they had been threatened, intimidated, and insulted online in connection with their work. Finally, the United Nations has emphasized the important role of prosecutorial services, not only in bringing killers to justice, but also prosecuting threats of violence.   Read the US State Department’s statement HERE Check out from the United Nations HERE Read the UN report on violence against women journalists HERE Join us at We Hold These Truths is a nonpartisan effort of the McCain Institute.
