Women Reporters and War - the first international survey

Sponsored by the Swedish International Development Co-operation Agency (Sida)

A new survey from the International News Safety Institute (INSI) reports that a high number of women war reporters have suffered physical attack or intimidation while covering conflicts.

More than half of those who responded to the INSI poll reported sexual harassment. A significan number said they had experienced sexual abuse. Several of the women called for training in self-defence.

The International News safety Institute (INSI) and the Dart Centre for Journalism and Trauma invite you to an evening discussion of the survey's results. See also: http://www.newssafety.com/stories/insi/wrw.htm
