VIENNA, 28 October 2020 – The Office
of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media is organizing an online
event on Tuesday, 2 November to launch a new Resource Guide, which contains
action proposals on how to protect the safety of female journalists online.
The Resource Guide entails
concrete suggestions for ten stakeholder groups, comprising both State and
non-State actors, including the executive and legislative branches 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 way forward, and provides a list of useful resources and examples
of existing measures and good practices.
Jürgen Heissel, Director of the
Office of the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, will open the event.
This will be followed by a presentation of the Resource Guide by its author
Silvia Chocarro, Head of Protection at ARTICLE 19, and a subsequent panel
discussion, which will include Hanna Stjärne, Chief Executive Officer at
Sweden’s national broadcaster and Thomas Hughes, Director of the Facebook
Oversight Board.
The launch event will provide a
platform for 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./
